Erie Art Museum Opens An Evening Stroll: Lee Steadman
Erie, PA, October 19, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The Erie Art Museum opens An Evening Stroll: Lee Steadman at the Erie Art Museum Frame Shop Gallery, 423 State Street on Friday, Oct. 19, 2007 during Gallery Night from 7 – 10 p.m. The exhibition is open through January 14, 2008.
About the Exhibition
Local watercolorist Lee Steadman returns to the Erie Art Museum with an exhibition of new and old works in the Erie Art Museum Frame Shop Gallery. Steadman brings a masterful watercolor technique to subjects from nature, convincingly portraying atmospheric effects that evoke the cold of a winter storm, the mist after a rain, crisp fall moonlight.
The natural ease with which Steadman calls up pitch-perfect likenesses of plants and animals, times and seasons, is a result of countless hours spent in the field. He has in fact lent his observational skills to both National Geographic and the Smithsonian Institution as a field illustrator.
Steadman’s large, meticulously crafted watercolors explore the exotic, capture the familiar with crystal clarity, and evince a respect for and attention to nature that has richly rewarded his art.
