Landing Gallery in Rockland announces the opening of “In Light of Maine,” a solo exhibition of new paintings by Lisa Kyle that runs May 3 to June 2. An opening reception will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. May 3 during Rockland’s First Friday Art Walk.
“The paintings in this collection depict moments of serenity in the natural world, especially the spaciousness of the big skies over open waters or blooming meadows,” Lyle says. “They give the viewer breathing space. They give you a moment free of trouble, free of mundanity, free of concerns — where you can connect with nature and be astonished. I am entranced by the beauty of Maine: the quality of the light, the simple yet compelling forms of the old houses and barns, the subtle colors of the meadows, the amazing summer sunsets and the views over the water.”
The paintings in the collection are about the beauty and serenity the artist has found in the landscape of Maine, especially the Mid-Coast region, including the Pemaquid Peninsula, Boothbay Harbor, Marshal Point Lighthouse and Birch Point State Park. There are also paintings inspired by Vinalhaven and Jonesport. In each painting, the artist has tried to depict a landscape that could only be found in Maine, especially Maine in the glorious season of summer.
Landing Gallery is at 409 Main St. in Rockland. Hours are noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. The gallery is closed Monday and Tuesday. For more information, call 207-239-1223, or email landinggallery@gmail.com.
