Chris Lathrop - In spite of the poor economy and few sales during the past year, we keep on painting! During the winter I was fortunate to spend time in Florida where I painted the Spanish moss draped on Live Oak trees that I love. It was wonderful to be able to paint en plein air without suffering from the cold.

Flowers, nature and buildings are still some of my favorite subjects. It’s fun to work in acrylic or pastels occasionally but watercolor is still my medium of choice. Rural scenes of my home area of Northeastern PA dominate my work, supplemented with works depicting other areas of the US as I travel.

On Monday during Open House Weekend I will demonstrate color mixing and application on a summer landscape. While everything seems to be green in a summer scene, it’s important to vary the colors, temperatures and values to add interest to the work. Come and observe and be inspired! We hope that new artists will be born as a result of the weekend.

My work is on display at the Country Store, County Office Building, PennStar Bank, Stables Restaurant, Endless Mountains Health Systems hospital and rehab center, all in Montrose, as well as Pure Pennsylvania in Great Bend and Susquehanna Health Center in Susquehanna.

I can be reached at 570-278-2141 or by e-mail at clath@epix.net. Please call or write if you have questions or want more information.
