Landscape Oil Demonstration By Frank Bruckman January 25

The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will host artist Frank Bruckman, painting a landscape in oil, on Wednesday, January 25, at 1:30 pm. The free program will be at Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street (at the flagpole).

Mr Bruckman lives and paints in Westville Village in New Haven. After graduating from art school in the States, he spent several years in Paris and Madrid, copying the masters in the great museums in Europe. While abroad he immersed himself in the local cultures, learning their language and painting landscapes of the countryside and cityscapes. Working as a model in Paris and painting throughout the city of lights, he developed further as an artist, resulting in several group shows and some solo exhibitions in Paris and Spain.

A brief visit to Connecticut in 1990 became a permanent relocation for the artist once he discovered the endless painting material on the Connecticut shoreline. Whether setting up his easel on the beach, painting portraits, taking off to Mexico or Europe for a landscape painting trip, or composing a still life in his studio, one can see a man who is dedicated principally to the art of painting and living.
