CHARLTON — Main Street Studio will be hosting a solo exhibition and sale of work by local artist Samuel Leone titled “Summer Landscapes” from Sept. 13 – 21. For two weeks, the gallery located at 786 Charlton Road will be filled with Leone’s impressionistic landscapes capturing summer skies, lazy river reflections, and winding country roads.
“Summer Landscapes” features new work created by Leone during a residency program at the Mount Gretna School of Art, where Leone painted daily from observation in the forested community of central Pennsylvania, as well as scenes from Wychmere Harbor on the Cape, Saratoga County farmland, and bustling New York City.
Leone is a graduate of Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School and is completing his BFA in Fine Arts at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. As a developing artist, Samuel finds inspiration working outdoors in nature and continues to grow his plein air painting practice.
The opening reception for “Summer Landscapes” is on Saturday, Sept. 13 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. It is free and open to the public with light refreshments being served.
Gallery hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.mainstreetcharlton.com.
