| "Under Whitehead" by Don Stone, N.A. |
I know a few of my closer friends have have heard me mention the art of
Don Stone, N.A. I have small images of his work from gallery guides and
magazines clipped and stored in my "art file". Don maintains a studio on
Monhegan Island and in Exeter and resides in Exeter through the winter. I have seen his work for years.... but had never met him. My art
friend, Bruce Jones, knows Don well and has painted with him. Bruce and
his wife, Tracy, visit Don and Sarah on Monhegan, as well as share time
with them in Exeter. When Bruce asked me to participate in NH Open
Doors and mentioned that Don would participate as well, I had no idea
how rewarding this experience would be. Yesterday I finally met Don and
Sarah. Two of the loveliest people you could hope to meet. And his
studio, art, and stories could keep you for days. There were large
paintings of the sea, rocky shores, water splashing, lobster boats,
gulls fleeing.... with blues, lavenders, sea greens... and pops of
orange. This is one studio you MUST see this weekend if you are in the
Seacoast, NH area.... Thank you Don and Sarah for an inspiring visit.
And thank you for being a part of our open studio tour.
Local studios open this weekend (with pictures).
