watermanThe Carla Massoni Gallery in Chestertown, MD, announces their current exhibition titled The Water Margin showing over 45 new watercolors by Marc Castelli. The exhibition will run from May 16th to June 21st in the Massoni Gallery located at 203 High Street in Chestertown. The works on display include an amazing series of paintings depicting Chesapeake Bay log canoes along with other captured moments of life on and around the water. Castelli’s watercolors offer action, contrast and light that is uncommon in this medium. If you are not able to visit Chestertown to see the exhibition, it is definitely worth your time to visit the online catalog of Castelli’s work. The bio of Castelli for the exhibition includes the following quote by Malcolm C. Salaman that provided some inspiration to the artist.

The sea marks a man as nothing else does, and despite weaknesses and faults, he will combine a childlike simplicity with a stolid bravery, which may rise at times to epic heights without seeming to him to be anything out of the ordinary.
