McCandless is Epoch's December Featured Artist - November 26, 2007
Award-winning painter David McCandless will be the featured artist at Epoch Assisted Living at Melbourne in December. A reception to open the gallery show of his paintings will be held Thursday, Dec. 6, at 4 p.m. in the gallery. The public is invited to attend.
McCandless, an architect by trade and an amateur painter since 1968, has won several best-of-show awards, including the National Juried Show for the Connecticut Pastel Society. The Great Barrington resident has been a member of the Housatonic Valley Art League since 1992 and served on its board from 1999 to 2006. He previously was a member of the Southwestern Watercolor Society in Dallas and the Texas Watercolor Society in San Antonio. In addition to watercolors, he works in pastels and completes landscapes, abstractions, non-objective compositions and occasionally still life images.
While the reception is free and open to the public, a reservation is requested at 413-499-1992. As featured artist for December, McCandless' work will be on display in the community's art gallery and open for visitors between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day. EPOCH is at 140 Melbourne Road. |
