Combining his love of art and boats, Impressionist artist, Curt Crain, captures the natural beauty of serenity of the water from a truly original perspective, from a bright sunny day, to a departing storm chasing out over the water. 

“I enjoy working thick and fast (ala prima) and will paint almost anything.  Whether it’s from a natural waterfront setting, or my comfortable studio, I just love moving paint around.”

Crain’s biggest influences have been European and American artists in the late 1840’s through the end of the century.  His favorite subjects are boats, waterscapes, flowers and people.  Most of his work is objective, loosely painted, with liberties taken on detail and color (www.crainpainting.com). 

The show opens on Saturday, May 7, 2011 at Anaba Tea Room, 2107 East Capitol Drive, Shorewood, Wisconsin. The exhibition remains on view until Sunday, June 26th.
