SUMMARY:Birds! Exhibit Event - Artist Talk with Barry Van Dusen: Out the Studio Window
DESCRIPTION:OUT THE STUDIO WINDOWS\nan illustrated talk by Barry Van Dusen \nMany artists travel widely in search of new subjects\, while others spend their entire artistic lives much closer to home. Andrew Wyeth did all of his work in two small areas of Maine and Pennsylvania\, and Claude Monet spent the last four decades of his life painting the gardens right out his back door. \nNature artist Barry Van Dusen has done his share of traveling\, but he\, too\, continues to find abundant inspiration nearby – many of his paintings feature subjects observed out the windows of his studio in central Massachusetts. \nIn this one-hour illustrated talk\, Barry takes you along in his explorations of nature “Out the Studio Windows”. \nThis program is being offered as part of the Birds! exhibit on view at Fivesparks from April 18 – May 30\, 2026.  \nTo reserve your spot\, please register HERE.  \nThe Birds! curated art exhibit as well as the corresponding bird-related events and programs were planned in partnership with the Boxborough Birders Group.
