Studioworks presents:
Recent Oil Paintings & Oil Pastels by
Brother Michael Dundin  FSC  (click to see artist page)

Brother Michael recently wrote the following about his experiences at Pontiac Mills and Studioworks:

"It was just about the same time I was given permission by my Provincial to work on my paintings full-time and was looking for a studio space where I could finish up some oil paintings for an upcoming 3-person show at Wickford Art Association, Studioworks opened.  

"The Lord provides; others promise! It was just what I was looking for and to top it off Studioworks is managed by Mike & Joanne Breslin, who have done so many remarkable, prudent and generous deeds for the local art community in South County, R.I.

"I wasn't at the Pontiac Mill more than a few days when I took (what I thought would be) a "quick" tour of the place. I was enchanted by what I saw around each corner, down each alley, up every stairway, out each window. Forget the other earlier work I had been trying to complete! All the colors, shapes and textures that so appeal to me lately are right here in front of me. So, since mid-October, I've been coming up to Studioworks almost every day of the week and have been enjoying the bloodless struggle with the paints and brushes trying to capture some of the gentle, aging, peaceful beauty of this old mill."
