IN PERSON CLASS
This 4-week class will bring you along the journey of discovering what is essential through the studio practice of working from sketchbook to painting using oil paint.
We’ll work through a process of sketchbook drawing iterations, composing, light effects, beginning a painting, and building a painting.
An invitation preceded each of these paintings, sometimes expressed in writing, or a suggestion from a passerby, and other times in a voice of the heart or a fleeting glance from the road. The more time I spent reflecting on the title "Invitations Answered," the more came to mind, taking me further in, each invitation in its own way, a wave of encouragement, carrying me from one place to the next.
What begins as invitations to come and stay, to see, to paint a place, becomes invitations to share in the lives of others. This hospitality happens with both planned and spontaneous meetings. Often, there is a very real sense that the places have been prepared, as though they were waiting for my arrival, anticipating it.
As I tugged at the thread of invitation, it brought paintings of desperate places together in a spirit of hospitality. Rather than standalone trips, these paintings are links in a chain, interconnected and tethering me with the lives of others, and they to one another, through these paintings, which anchors us a bit in our otherwise far-too-fast and fleeting lives.
"But I also say this: that light is an invitation to happiness, and that happiness, when it's done right, is a kind of holiness, palpable and redemptive."
— From "Poppies" by Mary Oliver
Join plein air painter, Joshua Cunningham, for a special 2-day oil plein air painting workshop. Each day will be unique and subject to the time, place, and weather. In this workshop, participants will examine how some foundational principles of the prismatic palette can deepen the understanding of how light and air reveal the world, helping us see and share in the gift of each day.
Adults of all skill levels are welcome to attend this workshop. In this workshop, participants will leave having started several field studies. While participants are painting, Joshua will go around offering assistance with the goal of helping and encouraging each participant to navigate the specific scene they chose to paint.

BWCA, an exhibition of new works by Charles Lyon, William Murray, and Michael Paul is on view through April 13 at Groveland Gallery. The artists share an affinity for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, each one bringing his own unique approach to capturing the character of the region.
Groveland Gallery will host a roundtable discussion, moderated by Save the Boundary Waters Board Co-Chair Jeff Soderstrom, on April 6, 2024 from 3-4:30 pm. A panel of Groveland artists will explore the meeting point of art and conservation, drawing from years spent capturing the beauty of the BWCA and studying the region. Topics will move between art, the outdoors, and movements to protect one of Minnesota’s greatest natural treasures. Participants will be Joshua Cunningham, Charles Lyon, William Murray, Michael Paul and Holly Swift.
Groveland Gallery will donate a portion of sales on April 6 to Save the Boundary waters in support of their efforts to preserve the BWCA.
MPAC is a collaboration of Outdoor Painters of Minnesota, Red Wing Arts, and Art of the Lakes Association to mount an annual exhibit in different Minnesota venues to showcase paintings created in the organizations' annual plein air events in Grand Marais, Red Wing, and Battle Lake. MPAC seeks to raise awareness of our plein air events and appreciation of our State's dedicated plein air painters through their depiction of landscapes in the North Shore, Driftless Area, and Prairie Lakes regions.
Groveland Gallery is pleased to present, Time Taken, an exhibition of 20-30 new and recent plein-air and studio paintings by Saint Paul artist Joshua Cunningham.
“Imagine the anticipation, excitement, and anxiousness of not knowing what you were about to see, but knowing the world was going to offer you something you’d either spend the morning painting or the rest of the day kicking yourself for not taking the time to answer the invitation of light, shadow, and air. On my way to these places, I left trails in the snow, slid down riverbanks, and sunk into a drift of polished pebbles along Lake Superior. I took my time picking my path, crossing a stream, and following hunches down dusty roads, trusting I would end up where I was meant to be so that I could share it with you.”
