RAA Needs Your Help! In order to have a Fall show we need the help of the members. Dates Nov 8th and 9th. There are many ways to volunteer. Greeters to give out a listing of paintings and take care of the raffle for a painting. People to check in and check out artists and their paintings. Set up with the easels and take down the easels at the end of the show. For some of these jobs even an hour or two would be a great help. We cannot continue to have shows without more help. The RAA board, made of of 4 people, would appreciate your help. The board can't do it alone. Contact Rosie at rosiep1 @ comcast.net if you can help in one of these areas. All of these jobs can be shared with a friend. |

Here are the bios of the judges
Arnie works in studio and en plein air, painting largely in oil on location at dawn or dusk, when the sun's interaction with his subject matter is at its most dramatic. Arnie adheres to the old adage that "light is the bringer of beauty" and his work reflects a strong emphasis on the interplay of light, shape and color and a devotion to impressionism. "Chasing the Light" best describes Arnie's paintings. "The natural elements and my paints combine to reward me with lasting memories."
Arnie attended the University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth, courtesy of the GI Bill and until 2005, was an art instructor and Department Chair at Oliver Ames High School in Easton, Massachusetts, a position which he held for 27 years. He taught landscape and abstract painting at various locations in Boston and on Cape Cod through Northeastern University's Graduate Institute in Education until 2011.

Mary Rose O'Connell is best known for her dynamic oil paintings of the New England coast. Other genres she has mastered are her sensitive portrait, still life, and landscape paintings. She paints in her studio and en plein air in a representational style. Classically trained in the Boston School Tradition, her work shows a strong grounding in composition and design combined with the color and light of the 19th century Impressionists.
Along with being a national award-winning artist, Mary Rose was a past recipient of the Charles Family Foundation, Cape Ann Museum, Copley Society of Art Fellowship. Mary Rose is a juried artist member of the Copley Society of Art, the North Shore Arts Association, and the Rockport Art Association.
