Vermont Landscapes
Jim Gallugi and John Olson
Plein air artists Jim Gallugi and John Olson are exhibiting their oil paintings of Vermont Landscapes at the Emile A. Gruppe Gallery in Jericho, Vermont from August 26 through October 10. The public is invited to an artist reception on Sunday, August 29 from 3 pm-5 pm and then once again to an artist talk on Sunday, September 26 from 3 pm-4 pm.
Both men paint to capture their impressions of the Vermont landscape. Olson's goal is to paint all 251 towns in Vermont and he has breached the 200 mark. His work portrays scenic New England buildings, farmlands, and distant mountains in a realistic style. Gallugi paints the image of a moment as seen on site, reflecting light patterns and atmospheric conditions in a constantly changing arena of light and shadows in impressionistic realism .
Primarily self taught, both artists have also studied with other Vermont artists, including Eric Tobin of Johnson and have exhibited in galleries throughout New England.
Gallery hours are Thursday through Sunday from 10 am - 3 pm or by appointment 802 899 3211.
