Vanessa Michalak, a lover of the great outdoors, envisioned
Gloucester’s Historic Dogtown as the perfect place to settle her
easel and paint plein-air style. A generous tree provided support;
sticks and stones became small shelves for materials. During the
spring and summer of 2019, the artist trekked a mile into the woods
carrying her supplies. These daily walks became part of her
painting process as she moved along paths in search of
inspirational spots. By summer’s end, she had produced dozens of
paintings. Feeling the need to share her work and experience with
others, the idea of the Dogtown Art Show, a Walk in the Woods was
born. It took place on the 26th of October 2019. Michalak exhibited
her plein-air paintings along the trails in Dogtown and invited the
public to view her canvases while walking the paths.
