The Carl Goodwin Gallery
starts here: |
Our yearbook staff
predicted the Air Force and an engineering career for Carl and they got the first
part right. Carl obtained a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in
art education and had
"a great teaching career that lasted for 38 years." |

Abandoned Gold Rush Town by Carl Goodwin |
|
This prize
painting for our 55th banquet is 32" by 24". Below is the 17" by 11" preliminary sketch
that Carl did prior to completing the full watercolor. The
additional colors were added later when Carl, knowing of the site
manager's interest in Motif #1 below, gifted the sketch to him for his
efforts in handling the prize drawing and the web site. Talk about
being in the right place at the right time. |

On the left is Abstract Flowers, a 20" x 60" acrylic on canvas.
On the right the trees are titled The Magnificent Seven (seven Aspen
trees). This was an "experimental piece that was done in Acrylic
without the use of a single paint brush. The paint was applied to
a Clay Board (hardboard with a coating of Kaolin clay) with a
combination of Make-Up sponges, "Q-Tips", index cards and a very small
fine felt tip marker." Carl reported that "It was great fun to
experiment and have the piece turn out well." He also indicated
that his finger rehab program is coming along fine. |

Dorothy (Hansen)
Doucette
Gallery |
|
Dorothy (Hansen) Doucette knows so
many in our class that she adopted us as her favorite LEHS reunion
class. She has been a long-time supporter of our reunion efforts
and joined Carl Goodwin and Clayton Curtis in offering one of her
paintings for our prize drawing. Dorothy's art career did
not start until her 40's but she certainly has made up for lost time as
you will see on her web site
Dottie's Art Gallery.
Dottie says she does stop once in a while to say hello to her husband
and kids so they won't forget who she is. You can contact Dottie
at DottieArts@aol.com or reach
her at
Dottsblog@gmail.com. |

Clayton
Curtis Gallery |
|
During his high school years, Clayton was in the
Civil Air Patrol and probably the only student in our class with a
student-pilot's license. He earned his
degrees in the arts, retired from a career in education and is pursuing
his art in the mediums of woodcut prints, oil and pastels with an
occasional side trip into photography.
His recent summer show included a display of his latest woodcuts of Greater Boston scenes at the Atrium
Gallery in the Moakley Federal Building in Boston. During the month of December, 2011,
Clayton's work was at the Virginia Carton Gallery in the Abbot
Public Library in Marblehead and also one of the features of the
Marblehead Annual Christmas Walk. |
