Island Impressions: The Plein-Air Paintings of Donald Sunshine Opening Reception

“As I went there [to Goodland] day after day painting away, I got to thinking that I’m recording and documenting what exists not like a photographer but with my own impressions and expressions.”  Immerse yourself in the dynamic atmosphere of Goodland, Isles of Capri, and Marco Island through Donald Sunshine’s lively plein-air paintings from the Marco Island Historical Society collection.  Sunshine, Professor Emeritus of Architecture at Virginia Tech and Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, is an award-winning architect, artist, and author.  His distinctive style masterfully combines architectural sketching with watercolor techniques.
