Artist Talk, 7 pm
 

Long admired as Cleveland's most accomplished Impressionist painter, Ron Johnston presents a group of 26 new works that capture his deep love of both Cleveland and Pemaquid, Maine.  Augmenting landscapes and seascapes of coastal Maine in summer and winter alike are sharply observed Cleveland urban scenes and city gardens, as well as his signature exquisite still life arrangements.

 
RON JOHNSTON will be at Tregoning & Company to offer remarks on his paintings and the experience of painting outdoors - both in Maine and Cleveland.  The informal talk will be at 7:00pm with refreshments offered.
