Mamaroneck Artists Guild: Emerging Talent
22 Mar, 2011
By Loop Contributor
Emerging artist Richard Seney’s work is reminiscent of the classical still life painters of the Dutch and Flemish schools of painting.
Richard Seney: "Color of Sound"
But Seney’s approach is unique, the medium of his choice are colored pencils versus the oil paints his predecessors used. His ability to achieve the rich and luminous quality that his work possesses is done through multiple applications of transparent layers requiring steadfast patience and focus.
One of the many reasons for this high degree of deliberation is the refined delicacy he seeks through his sensitive and contemplative touch, which in the end results in a very ‘painterly’ drawing.
Artists who have been highly influential in his work are the painters Pieter Claesz (b.1597-1660) a Dutch still life painter of the 17th century and the other strong influence in Seney’s work is Raphaelle Peale (b. 1774-1825) an American artist, considered America’s first professional still life painter.
Richard Seney resides in White Plains where he continues his studies and pursuit of the luminous still life.
Richard Seney-”Still Lifes” in colored pencil: March 29th to April 16th; Artist’s Reception- Sat., April 2, 5-8 pm

It is a very sad state of affairs when, even at the local level, we allow the elected elite to dictate whom we should vote for. I hope people will take the time to learn about the two candidates and make their own decision based on their personal evaluation. Read carefully, Myers says she did a lot of work and preparation to pick her predecessor and that she didn't know Tom was interested. How would anyone know she was not running until she announced it? Tom Murphy is a fine candidate and I hope people will take the time to hear what he is all about.J Mill says:
Let's be clear - the truest thing he said was "spoiled brats". A bus full of evil kids from Scarsdale who were chucking stuff at the bus driver? I'm sure their parents were nowhere to be found. Rich, entitled kids showing a lack of respect for their elders and making fun of people in less-than-white collar jobs.Cabby says:
With Parker having the support of Otis, Myers, Latimer and Bramson, Tom's chances of winning a primary are slim to nothing.Cabby says:
And Petco was a Duane Reade for a very short period of time. What were they thinking when they opened across the street from CVS?WTF??? says:
closing Weaver Street Bridge before the school year ends ? how did local officials let THAT happen ? INSANE. I saw that children will still be able to walk but still crazy, they are going to have the mother of all traffic jams on Chatsworth bridge and Rockland won't be much better ...crazy they could not schedule this for July/ August / wait just three more weeks.J.

Agreed. Breast cancer (like all cancers) does not care what your economic or social circumstances are. And the fatality rates are inversely related to access to medical care (preventive care and treatment). And that access has both a geographic component and an economic component. And also an education component. None of that should be the case. But it is. Jolie is in fact brave, for bringing her experience public even though it will negatively impact her sex-goddess status, on which she relies for her profession. There are a lot of people on this planet working to increase access to cancer treatment. My own efforts, humble though they are, have mostly been via the Komen organization (which, despite "political" problems, still gives more to BC work than any group on earth). We just have to keep plugging away at it. There's really no choice. Everyone can contribute something. What Angelina Jolie has contributed is huge, even if she does nothing else (which I doubt). Respect, for that.
