The Living is Easy

Piece description from the artist

I was working with a model a couple of summers ago when I did this. It was a beautiful summer day near the ocean. This was done on her deck in early August. I just wanted to capture summertime and that comforting feeling it possesses.

About Chris Lovely

Haverhill, MA

Christopher Lovely was born in Haverhill, MA and grew up with an insatiable desire to create; trying his hand at drawing, painting, photography and sculpture.

When he began his formal arts education at Montserrat College of Art, he focused on realist painting. Upon graduation, he was granted a scholarship to study at the prestigious New York Academy of Art, founded in-part by "Andy Warhol":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_warhol, and focused on training in figurative art through a rigorous study of anatomy, art history, sculpture, painting and drawing. Chris studied under painters Vincent Desiderio, Jack Beal, Martha Erlebacher and Wade Schuman.

Although occasionally investigating still lifes and landscapes, Chris's work primarily uses oil on canvas and the human figure to explore emotion. His work is shown across the Northeastern United States, including the Windham New York Fine Arts Gallery, the McQuaid Gallery, Newburyport Arts Association, and the Bowery Gallery in NYC. His work is now part of private and corporate collections throughout the United States.

Chris has taught art courses at Merrimack College, NECC and Phillips Exeter and is now owner of Post Road Framers in Rowley, MA. He previously taught painting workshops through the Newburyport Arts Association and lectured on the 1990 Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum Heist. Chris also participated in a number of charity art auctions in Massachusetts.
