Artist Dennis Sheehan, New England Light and Seasons, Oct. 14-Nov. 27, 2011

At Susan Powell Fine Art Gallery; Opening Reception: Friday, Oct.14, 5- 8 pm; All are invited to meet the artist.

The landscape paintings of Dennis Sheehan reflect the beauty of nature and provide a rich, sensory experience. Trained in a classical, academic tradition, Sheehan is highly accomplished in the luminist and tonalist styles of the later 19th century in American art.

His serene, atmospheric landscapes reveal the lingering glow of light at dawn and dusk and the transition into twilight; the breathtaking effects of early morning, sunset, moonlight, mist-laden skies, and the stillness of the moment.  Sheehan focuses on the effect of light in the landscape and is a devotee of the mystical and expressive landscapes of George Inness.

Dennis Sheehan, born in Boston in 1950, is a member of the Guild of Boston Artists and the Putney Painters. His work is in major public and private collections, including the White House. Most recently, Sheehan had a one man show at the Whistler House Museum in Lowell, MA.
