WHAT'S UP

"Davis Island" and "Menemsha~251" in ASMA Juried 2 Week Exhibit in Sarasota, FL, March 7-21, 2025

"DAVIS ISLAND YACHT CLUB ~

AFTERNOON RENDEZVOUS"

20" x 36" and Menemsha 251


"This park bench has become my wife's and my favorite place to enjoy 3:00 afternoon coffee when visiting our family in Tampa, FL. The park sits along a bike path that curves around a small harbor ending at this very active and passionate sailing yacht club. Besides sailors, this special place welcomes seabirds and water life of all kinds. It is not unusual to sit here and watch a dolphin or two swim by as pelicans dive for fish between the vast array of sailboats both large and small. As if that weren't enough, small aircraft slide in and out of the Peter O. Knight Airport whose runway ends a couple hundred yards behind  your back."


The Palm Avenue Fine Art Gallery of Sarasota, FL partnered with the American Society of Marine Artists recently in presenting a unique "for sale" juried exhibit titled:

 "MODERN MARINE MASTERS"

The show ran from March 7 through 21, 2025. Two Lawless oils were chosen for this honor: "DAVIS ISLAND YACHT CLUB" and a veteran of the ASMA's 2020 National and 2019 Western Regional Expositions, "MENEMSHA 251".

 Jim and his wife Amy, along with many friends and family, attended an evening public opening reception March 7th.  





Back Row: Gallery Director Colin Thomsen (L), ASMA President, Fellow and renown historical warship painter Patrick O'Brian, and Lawless along with all the other Signature and Fellow ASMA member artists included in the show who attended the opening.

"Menemsha ~ 251" Chosen for ASMA's 18TH National Exhibition Two Year Museum Tour 2020-22

"MENEMSHA 251"


"One of my personal favorites, this painting usually hangs in my living room. After being chosen for the West Regional in 2019, it was chosen to represent the best of ASMA in their prestigious National Exhibition! Following the West Regional,  it immediately began a 2 year tour of 4 Maritime museums around the country with 100 other works by ASMA artists. This was my third entry chosen for this national event. "

"Baguette" chosen for ASMA's 16th National Exhibition 2014

"Menemsha-No Hurry" chosen for ASMA's 13th National Exhibition 2004

"Menemsha-No Hurry" chosen for ASMA's 13th National Exhibition 2004

"Martha’s Vineyard has a diversity of geography, people and moods that is quite unique for an island community.  Menemsha is a peaceful fishing village on the Northwest coast that retains the simplicity and serenity of a time long gone.  The flooding tide that flushes Menemsha's protected inner harbor and large saltwater pond with fresh sea water twice a day has slowed this cat to a slow crawl."
