The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will host Lenny Moskowitz demonstrating how Monet used color in oil on Tuesday, October 13, at 7:30 pm, at Newtown Senior Center, 8 Simpson Street.

The demonstration is open to the public and admission is free.

The artist says without realizing it, his “art has become what I always wanted it to be.

“I give myself lots of room to explore the subjects that inspire me,” he has also stated.

Moskowitz says there is a experimentation and trial and error in his work. He approaches a painting without a preconceived idea of what the final work should look like.

“I am always looking for interesting things and events to occur with the paint as I am working,” he said. “I thrive on surprise, and I rely more on process rather than technique to create my art.”

Moskowitz earned a BFA from Philadelphia College of Art and an MFA from Michigan’s Cranbrook Academy. He taught at Quinnipiac University for 15 years.

He teaches at various art centers in New England, and exhibits his work regionally.

He has been an artist in residence in several places, including Weir Farm in Wilton, The Anderson Center in Minnesota, and The Art Association of Nantucket.

Reservations are not needed for SCAN programs. Additional information may be available at SCANart.org.
