Artists duo Jude Pokorny and Bruce Peeso call their studio Backroads Gallery, Monson, MA
There are times when we walk the land, observing the light, the weather conditions, the colors before us, waiting for that precise moment that must be captured. We find a similarity in those moments, no matter where our wanderings have taken us, that imparts a peaceful feeling. It is that peacefulness enhanced by the sun’s rays, or dramatic weather conditions that is the focus of our work.
Our intent is not to be photographic, but rather to convey a sense of being there. Bruce’s paintings capture the vastness of the countryside and impart a timeless quality. Jude’s paintings evoke a special moment in time where a painting and narrative come together and speak to the viewer.
