Painting the Night - Solo Exhibit at Valley Artisans Market Small Gallery, May 9-June 2, 20251/26/2025 Opening Reception: Saturday, May 10, 3-5pm - Free and open to the public
Valley Artisans Market, 25 East Main Street, Cambridge, NY I've been intrigued and inspired by night scenes lately, so I am including several new nocturnes in my solo show in the Small Gallery at Valley Artisans Market in Cambridge, NY. I'll have close to 25 paintings in the exhibit; over half of them will explore the nocturne genre, from dusk to dawn and the darkness in between. And I'm throwing in one eclipse painting too: Totality, a little 6"x6" gouache on board illustrating that otherworldly moment that I was so grateful to have experienced in April 2024 up in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

Opening Reception: Friday, June 27, 5-7pm Ti Arts Downtown Gallery, 119 Montcalm Street, Ticonderoga, NY I'm very excited to be paired with exemplary painter, Katie Langford, exhibiting in Ti Arts' spacious gallery in Ticonderoga, NY this summer. We each will include a large selection of Lake George/Adirondack themed landscapes in the show. In addition, we will present a "process show" of 2 to 3 paintings each, demonstrating our unique methods and techniques in creating work, breaking down the steps from start to finish, including sketches, color and value studies, photo references, etc... I've always wanted to do a "process show" and I've been contemplating painting much larger watercolors on watercolor board; combining both of these goals into one exhibit will be a crazy challenge, but incredibly important for artistic growth. You can follow my process in creating these new works through my Instagram @dswanhawk or on my Bluesky account, @dianeswansonart.bsky.social. ![]() Workshop attendees often ask my recommendation on what supplies to start out with if they want to try watercolor on their own, without investing ton of money. Here's my suggested list and the link in Blick.com for each item: Canson Watercolor Block of 9"x12" 30 sheets https://www.dickblick.com/items/canson-xl-watercolor-pad-9-x-12-euro-fold-30-sheets/ Winsor Newton Cotman Series Set of 12 tubes: https://www.dickblick.com/items/winsor-newton-cotman-set-of-12-tubes/#details Plastic palette: https://www.dickblick.com/products/richeson-20-well-tray/ Brushes: https://www.dickblick.com/products/blick-masterstroke-golden-taklon-brushes/ Flat, Size 1/2" Flat, Size 1" Round, Size 4 Round Size 6 I have a handful of giclee fine art prints of paintings from 2022 & 2023 that I'm offering for $25 each during January/February 2025. These are the last in my inventory and I don't plan on reproducing anymore of these particular paintings, so get them while you can!
