Plein Air Artist Series: Russ Kramer
On select weekends, local artists are invited to Ocean House to share their artistic vision and give a demonstration of their skills. Mr. Taynor will be on-site, painting from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm – location to be determined.
Enjoy a wine reception on The Putting Green at Ocean House on Saturday evening from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Throughout the weekend, catch the featured artist in action as the sea air, sweeping views of the Atlantic and more than 150 years of history serve as inspiration for a work of art.
This week, Russ Kramer showcases his unique blend of old fashioned and modern skills that place you right aboard the ships of his marine paintings. Paintings are available for purchase.
