Harold (Hal) Kirby

Acadia

Retired Air Force pilot; a painter in oil and pastel for over twenty years

Largely a self taught artist, but with courses from the University of Cal., Berkeley,
Washington School of Art, North Light School, University of New Hampshire,
and lessons and workshops with professional artists such as
Herman Marguiles, Master Pastelist

A member of a number of art associations: the Seacoast Artists Assoc.,
The American Society of Marine Artists and others

Awards range from honorable mentions to best in medium to best in show

Paintings are in many private collections, The Seacoast Assoc. Gallery, and
the New England Center

I am a landscape painter who loves water and the marine subject. I prefer
to paint on location of a subjuct that evokes an emotion or a feeling:
perhaps of beauty, of awe, of power, of wonderment, or of serenity.
The Navajo have a blessing: "May you walk in beauty."
I pray that my paintings will be a "Walk in beauty."
