Charles Kaiman is exhibiting new still life paintings at Blue Mountain Gallery from May 24 through June 18, 2022. He works in oil, directly from the motif, in natural light. He focuses on eschewing visual preconceptions while painting and pays careful attention to modulations of perceived color and value in the motif directly in front of him in the studio. He learned this technique when studying with Edwin Dickinson in the 1960's at the Art Students’ League.
