Well known local artist and instructor George Allen Durkee shared his knowledge and love of art with a captive audience on Thursday September 13, 2012 in Town Square.
Through Town Hall Arts Durkee - Town Hall Arts July artist of the month - is teaching a multi-week course on outdoor oil painting. The scenery each artist chooses is their own and though taught by Durkee each artist clearly paints with their own style.
Durkee calls his form of oil painintg "Open Air Approach to Creative Landscapes" harking to a time when Durkee would travel the streets of Portland and SanFrancisco painting landscapes and cityscapes, creating his own unique style and unwittingly garnering a strong following.
