Another must-see save-the-date show. Craig Mooney never disappoints and never ceases to surprise. Come for the fantastic sunsets and skyscapes, and stay for the surprises that continually wow.
This mid-summer show opens at the Gallery at the Grand on Maine Art Hill right after July 4 and runs just into August.

With Mooney, there is a burst of orange light reflecting in both water and sky. The glow of the last rays of the sun is startling, but the process of taking a Mooney painting in is entirely subconscious.
"It demands a step backward, a slight tilt of the head, and begs for the smallest squint to see more clearly: as if looking into something luminous," shares Mooney. "You must instinctively pull back to be pulled back in. Brush strokes of gold and grey and a faint remnant of sky blue cover the canvas, but it's the orange. Burnt and bright. Deep and daring." It's all about the light and shadow, the contrast.
