Tim Fortune of Saranac Lake will be exhibiting his large scale, transparent style, watercolor paintings at VIEW from July 5 through August 3 with an opening reception on Saturday, July 5, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Cory Card, View’s Exhibition Manager, is preparing the Vandervort and Foley Galleries for Fortune’s large scale watercolor paintings that are up to seven feet tall.
“Tim Fortune captures small moments on a grand scale with a focus on the effects of water. In his painting one can see the play of light as it reflects and refracts off water, a dewdrop as it collects on the surface of a flower, or a milkweed pod as it slowly loses its seeds,” Card said.
Several of Fortune’s works have been shown in national and international galleries with several pieces included in corporate collections.
His works have been exhibited in the American Embassy in Guatemala as part of the Art in Embassies Program of the U.S. Department of State.
He has won numerous awards including the prestigious Annual Exhibition of Contem-porary American Painting at the Society of the Four Arts, Palm Beach.
Fortune’s work is also represented in the permanent collection of the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake.
The reception is open to the public and beer, wine and refreshments will be served.
Music will be provided by guitarist Steve Greene of Rochester.
