Summer Series

August 19, 2018 by Laraine Armenti, visual artist

In July I went to Vermont with a plan to paint landscapes in the remaining pages of a book I made in 2016. I painted new gouache landscapes but also worked back into several earlier pages. The result is that there are still blank pages in the book, leaving me with the same reason to return again. My trip coincided with the 73rd annual Bennington Chamber Music Conference held on the college … [Read more...]

New from Vermont

August 14, 2017 by Laraine Armenti, visual artist

The focus yields incremental but essential changes in my work, especially while guided … [Read more...]

My amateur values — instincts, sensibilities, proclivities, predisposition, or … [Read more...]

Vermont Gouache

August 11, 2016 by Laraine Armenti, visual artist

Benn, VT, 072316

In July I took a road trip to paint outside in southern Vermont. Choosing to use watercolor and gouache on paper solved numerous itinerant-painting related issues. Watercolor and gouache dry fast, have quick set-up and clean-up, and need very little storage space. The paint doesn't melt in the heat or threaten to ignite within a baking car. There are no combustible rags to dispose. These … [Read more...]
