(BARNEGAT, NJ) -- The Ocean County Library Barnegat Branch will exhibit Nature Impressions, a collection of paintings by local artist Ray Haworth, throughout the month of April. Mr. Haworth’s subject matter and painting styles are wide-ranging. “The goal,” he explained, “is to establish a sense of place, a special mood, or just a beautiful setting.”
After devoting nearly four decades to pencil drawings and watercolors, Mr. Haworth turned his attention to oils, with which he has worked almost exclusively for over 10 years.
“I prefer working on a very dry, textured surface in an alla-pria manner,” he said. “The only medium I use is a small amount of mineral spirits; no oils nor extenders. My pallet is composed of a warm and cool of each primary, plus a few earth tones.”
“I like to experiment with a variety of subject matter and styles of painting and do not adhere to just one way of painting,” he continued.
The month-long exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information, visit the Barnegat Branch, 112 Burr Street, call 609-698-3331, or view the OCL Events Calendar at www.theoceancountylibrary.org/events.
