Story Time Artist Reception: George Lamb Artist Reception: George Lamb
–
February 17, 2025February's local artist is George Lamb.
Come meet George and see his beautiful work during this reception.
George was self-taught through careful observation of both contemporary artists as well as past masters. He learned to paint by painting. His process is typically to do plain air sketches coupled with some photography to memorialize a time and place and then complete a work in the studio. He presents his vision through landscapes where he captures and shares with the viewer a specific time and emotion depicted through the movement of light, air, and water.
George says he savors "every opportunity to be alone in a high mountain meadow or beside a slow-flowing brook – feeling the warm mid-day sun or watching the ripples as the stream cascades around boulders and fallen logs – the power of the ocean and the majesty of the lofty peaks." His goal is to "use the brush stroke and the intensity or transparency of the paint to capture the moment and bring the viewer into a quieter place."
