Sippican Lands Trust is hosting an art show and reception titled Sanctuaries Full Circle featuring oil paintings by local artist Peter Stone, on Thursday, May 26 from 6 to 8 pm at 173 Spring Street in Marion. Proceeds from this reception and online exhibition will benefit educational programs at the Sippican Lands Trust.
An online exhibition of Sanctuaries Full Circle can be found at sippicanlandstrust.org where you can bid on Peter Stone’s paintings and online exhibition running through Wednesday, June 1.
Peter C. Stone’s artistic works offer a Tonalist/Impressionist landscape with his seascape paintings and giclée prints being described as ‘…luminous spiritual journeys…’ that celebrate nature and the wisdom of indigenous traditions.
Weaving together nature writing with the creative dynamics of art and science, the artist’s books and oil paintings explore environmental topics (conservation, endangered species, sustainability, forestry, tribal lands programs, national parks) botanical gardens, horticulture, and the healing power of trees, Native American wisdom, principles of ocean literacy, shamanism, cross-cultural symbols and mythology.
Outdoor enthusiasts and fine art lovers will be intrigued by contemporary paintings of Massachusetts’ Cranberry Bogs, Common Trees of North America, Local Saltmarshes and Landscapes, New England Rivers, the 16th Green at the Kittansett Golf Course, the beautiful island of Martha’s Vineyard and even Marion’s own Hammett Cove.
The online exhibition features 20 oil paintings by the artist varying in size from 9 x 12 inches to 18 x 36 inches. If you plan on attending the Sanctuaries Full Circles reception
