Daniel Corey is back in Kennebunk, and we love how he represents Maine and the simple beauty that surrounds this area. This time, he recreates the beauty of the many harbors scattered up and down the Maine coast. Each has its unique beauty.

 

Below, you will find a sampling of notes and ideas from Corey about a few pieces in his solo summer show at Maine Art Hill, 5 Chase Hill Rd, Kennebunk, Maine.

Beach Day for the Family" is all about the abstract shapes of beachgoers, still and sprinting to the water.”

 

Beach Gossip" is a polka dot bathing suit, a floppy hat, and flipping hands. It is everything you need for good beach gossip.”

 

Beach Day" is a distant view of life at the water’s edge. Upon first view, this painting appears to be about the people and the water, but it’s really about the air—the air between the viewer and the landscape. Getting the just-right sky color and temperature was a lot of effort.”

Bun Sunning" —The poses of the main characters sunning their buns seem simple, but the goal was to capture the subtleties in their gesture. The bright beach colors and distant floating seagulls were a fun bonus to paint.”

 “Summer Reading" – These busy beach scenes are so much fun to paint. I love placing abstract shape brushstrokes until some form of reality appears.”

 

"Taking in Some Shade" is a personal favorite. Even though the people in this painting could be anyone, they are of my wife and daughter at Sebago Lake. The shapes, colors, and drastic temperature shift between light and shadow almost forced me to paint this.”
