Paul Batch Is Guest Artist For SCAN Sept. 12

The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will have Paul Batch painting a tonal landscape in oil on Wednesday, September 12, at 7:30. The program will take place at Newtown Meeting House (lower level), 33 Main Street (at the flagpole).

Admission is free, and it is not necessary to be a member of SCAN to attend.

Mr Batch is a young contemporary painter who is developing a reputation for his evocative atmospheric landscapes. He captures the fleeting and ephemeral light cast by the passing sun or rising moon. He focuses on transition, painting times of day or changing weather conditions and their dramatic effects upon the natural and uninhabited landscape.

Mr Batch studied at Hartford Art School, and has received numerous awards, including a Gold Medal from Connecticut Plein Air Painters’ Society. He is an Elected Artist Member of Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, has given several guest lectures and workshop demonstrations on painting, and teaches at the West Hartford Art League. This will be his first presentation for SCAN.
