A Moment With Ray Ellis

Staring deeply into a painting, first from up close, then from afar, maybe trying a different angle or two to wander amidst the nuance of light and shadow is a beautiful journey. Viewer and art together on a tour of discovery.

But sometimes one desires a steady hand to lead this dance or at least fill in some background information on how art became art: Just what was the original inspiration and how much perspiration did it take to bring this painting to life?

This Saturday, June 4, fans of Ray Ellis, and let’s face it, who isn’t, are in luck. Mr. Ellis will be setting up shop at the North Water Gallery in Egartown to share stories about his work. He will also sign copies of his books.

The Ray Ellis court is in session from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Don’t miss it.
