Lambertville Shad Festival & Sharing the Moment

This weekend is the 31st Annual Shad Festival in Lambertville, taking place Saturday & Sunday, April 28 & 29.   The festival features artists, crafters, lots of food and family entertainment.

Artists' Gallery will be open 11am-6pm as usual Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  If you're in town for Shad Fest, be sure to stop in and see my show "Sharing the Moment", running now through May 6.   Here are a few winter scenes that I have in the show:

"Winter Fields"
6x8" oil on wood panel

"Woodfern Lane, Winter"
8x10" oil on canvas on board

The above 2 paintings are different ends of the same field - they go together something like this, but with a lot more space in between (I guess that means I need another painting or 2 of that field):

This last one is directly across the street from the above field.  All 3 of these winter scenes are from a short stretch of Woodfern Road, near Neshanic Station, NJ:

"Woodfern Winter"
11x14" oil on canvas

Railroads - Sharing the Moment

Here are a few railroad-themed paintings that I have in my show "Sharing the Moment", currently running at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ:

"Raritan River Crossing"
8x10" oil on board

This painting is on the South Branch of the Raritan River near Flemington, NJ.  The rusted old railroad bridge belongs to the Black River & Western Railroad and doesn't look like it's been used in a long time.

"Railroad Reflections"
16x20" oil on canvas

This painting is on the D&R Canal in Ewing, NJ.   The railroad bridge is used by the Septa West Trenton Line.  The small bridge in the distance is Lower Ferry Road.

"Sunset Over the Tracks"
8x10" oil on canvas

This painting is further up the West Trenton Line, near Blawenburg, NJ.   This section is only used by freight trains.

Rivers & Streams - Sharing the Moment

Here are a few more of the paintings that I have in my show "Sharing the Moment", currently running at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ.

Otto's creek is what I call a small nameless(?) creek at Otto's Farm Park in Hillsborough, NJ.  This park is very close to my home and I often paint here when I don't feel like driving anywhere further.   I like having a spot I can get to quickly, with little fuss:

"Otto's Creek"
6x8" oil on canvas

This scene on Rockaway Creek is located somewhere between the towns of Oldwick and Cokesbury in Tewksbury Twp, NJ.    I painted this small 8x10" version on location, en plein air:

"Rockaway Creek" (plein air version)
8x10" oil on linen

Sometime later, back in the studio, I painted this larger 18x24" version using the plein air painting and photographs for reference:

"Rockaway Creek" (studio version)
18x24" oil on canvas

Here's another spot near my home that I've painted often - the Neshanic River, near Neshanic Station, NJ.   Otto's Creek joins the Neshanic here:

"Spring on the Neshanic"
7x14" oil on board

During the month of April, I'm having a show with Jo-Ann Osnoe at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ. I'll be showing my recent paintings, which as usual, feature the landscape near my home in New Jersey. I'll be showing a number of winter scenes, even though we barely had a winter here this year!

"South Branch Winter"
by Joe Kazimierczyk
8x10 oil on board

Jo-Ann Osnoe paints landscapes and still lifes in oil and watercolor. Jo-Ann hails from Bucks County, PA, and her paintings show more from that side of the river. Between the two of us, I think we have the Delaware Valley pretty well covered.

"Blue Heron Farm"
by Joe Kazimierczyk
12x24 oil on canvas

The show runs April 6 though May 6, 2012
Opening reception is Saturday, April 7, 2-7pm at:

If you can't make the opening reception on the Saturday before Easter, we are also having a small closing reception on the final day of the show, Sunday, May 6, from 2-5pm. I hope you can make it to the gallery sometime during the month!
