Local artists to present ‘Three Points of View’ at upcoming show

Susan Conway Kean, Devon Chapman and Gail Lyster will present work

By Reader Staff

For the past 15 years, three Sandpoint artists who are also great friends have been meeting once a week during the summer to paint “plein air” — that is, out in the elements. Now, Susan Conway Kean, Devon Chapman and Gail Lyster are inviting the public to attend “Three Points of View,” a showcase of their work at the Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters gallery (524 Church St., in Sandpoint).

The show will hang for eight weeks in August through September, with an artists’ reception scheduled from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 30.

“Sandpoint is a paradise of visual beauty, and the challenge each time is to settle on just the perfect spot to spend hours painting what we see,” the trio wrote in a news release. “Many of our choices highlight historic, endangered and familiar sights in the area.”

The artists used different media such as watercolors and oils, and chose subjects that helped them focus on what makes every outdoor venue unique in their finished artwork.

Attend the opening reception July 30, or visit Evans Brothers anytime before the end of September to view the work.
