Juror: Richard Harrington
Richard Harrington, a Rhode Island native, earned a BS degree in Industrial Arts Education and a MEd in Special Education from Rhode Island College. He is an award winning artist, and a juried member of several local art organizations. A skilled teacher, he offers instruction and workshops in watercolor, acrylic and monotype painting. As a believer in life long learning, he continues to participate in numerous drawing and painting classes, including courses at the Rhode Island School of Design and workshops throughout New England.
His paintings cover a wide range of subjects: landscapes, flowers, architecture, and still lifes. He paints what he sees, at times improvising on the subject matter or inventing elements to enhance the image. Using strong composition and saturated color, he paints in a realistic, representational manner to capture the unique and quiet beauty around us. Flowers from the garden, objects from around the house, family heirlooms and yard sale treasures find their way into Richard’s colorful and expressive paintings. Serene and quiet landscapes are often local scenes a short distance away from home or from the familiar paths of Cape Cod. He maintains studios in Barrington and Providence, Rhode Island.
