Roux & Cyr International Fine Art Gallery invites you to see New Works by Sandra Leinonen Dunn titled, “Maine Impressions.” Please join us for a Wine and Cheese reception on First Friday December 1 from 5:00 – 8:00. The exhibit runs through Dec 29.
Sandra Leinonen Dunn is a Maine artist who paints in an old world style. Her oil paintings are filled with emotion, atmosphere and vibrant brushwork. She pulls you into her compositions with sensual delicate light that dances in a sea of rich tones. She is a master of soft edges allowing one subject to morph subtly into another, creating a dreamy approachable painting. Dunn is a well known, accomplished and admired artist. She brings us a wonderful selection of Maine nature theme paintings. Capturing the rural settings with a strong focus on trees soaring to the skies, her latest paintings are powerful and captivating. Her passion for what she does comes through in her work. She will be present at the opening. Come meet the artist!
Our Studio Exhibit showcases the work of Pat Eltman. She has the heart of a florist and loves all things beautiful, including people. Her oil paintings shine with color from flowers to sunsets as some of her favorite subjects to capture. Often described as a diamond in the rough, her paintings have taken the same approach. With direct strong brushstrokes she maneuvers the paint until it transforms into something vibrant and beautiful. Come meet this magnificent lady if you don’t already know her.
Both artists will be present during the opening. The gallery is located at 48 Free Street in Portland. For more information, please contact the gallery at 207-576-7787 or www.rouxandcyrgallery.com
