Beginning March 4th, Frog Hollow Craft Association and Gallery will exhibit "House Portraits," featuring recent work by Gallery Member Ken Russack. The show, which includes studio and plein-air oil paintings, captures the home and other buildings as the subject of portraiture.

Ken's images are represented as modernist, impressionist views of our urban and rural landscapes. His focused look at the face of buildings reveals nuances and personalities as if they want to speak to you – a moment in time reflecting their daily moods as life traverses their facades.

The strength of shadows and light enhance the character of these portraits. They provide a time-sensitive experience that reflects the ever-changing landscape. We see this in his body of work "The White Houses of the Mad River Valley" where Ken references the tranquility of Edward Hopper, which carries through to his colorful depictions of Old North End mainstays.

Houses and buildings age, some more gracefully than others. Similar to us, buildings fight off aging and time through renovations, new paint schemes and simple care.
