STUDENTS EARN COMMUNITY SERVICE CREDIT HOURS DURING PAUL CRIMI'S PAINTING SHOW

While Famed Fine Artist Paul Crimi was creating a painting in one hour, the high school students working crew were earning community service credit hours towards graduation.  "These guys are great," Mr. Crimi says about his helpers. "Absolutely Great."

Paul begins by showing and telling us about a finished painting called "Flowers on the Sidewalk"  which "has nice depth to it.....and really soft flower colors."  The brickwork is spectacular.

  "The Beach House" painting was made from a photograph taken in Sprucehead, Maine. A field of flowers was added.

An indoor scene of a "really funky house with real quiet rooms," the Olson House, is the subject of the next finished painting.

For the body of this tutorial, Paul sketches a fall landscape from a photograph of the North River on the Hanover/Hanson line by Myette's store. Starting on a medium-size black canvass "helps the colors."  First comes the blue sky, then the black lines.  "I feel like the guy with the magic brush," Paul says.
