Join us on Tuesday, August 23 at 5:30 for “The Model in the Landscapes” Talk and Demonstration with Judy Taylor. Judy will give a demonstration with a live model, Eleanor Parks, placed as a figure in the landscape and discuss how it changes the aesthetic of the painting. The event will take place on the lawn of St. John’s Church across from the library. No registration necessary. No rain date.

Judy Taylor is trained as a classical figurative and portrait painter in the atelier tradition, and she has an extensive collection of landscapes, townscapes and cityscapes from various spots around the country, including her present home on Mt. Desert Island, Maine, surrounded by Acadia National Park. Her studio is in the town of Seal Cove and she welcomes visits. She paints entirely from life, whether it is a person, place or still-life. She presently teaches 3-4 painting workshops each year and will be adding a sketch/hike class for the summer in Acadia.

Her work is in the collections of The Maine State Museum, College of the Atlantic’s Dorr Museum, Johns Hopkins University, the United States Park System, Friends of Acadia, and the Jackson Laboratory. Visit https://www.judytaylorstudio.com/ for more information about Judy and studio location.
