October features paintings by Craig O'Neill. Craig O’Neill Craig works primarily in oils and in pastels, charcoal, pen and ink, woodcuts, and linoleum cuts. He enjoys painting portraits, figures, landscapes, interior, and combinations of them. Originally from New York City, he lived in Belmont, MA before moving to New Hampshire. Craig paints quickly. Once the canvas is covered, whether it be a portrait, figure, or landscape, that’s when the painting begins. He strives to convey a sense of soul of his subjects, the spirit of place for his landscapes, and to make viewing the painting an interactive experience. He has had numerous one-man shows and participated in group shows, including shows of Stoneham’s Porter Arts Group. He also has displayed and talked about his work on the Porter Arts Group TV Show on Stoneham local access cable.
