Where Summer is Always on the Mind

This week has brought the first of the hot summer weather to Raleigh and, coincidentally, a large collection of paintings that are sure to encourage a weekend trip the coast. North Carolinian artist Mike Rooney continues to impress with this new collection of coastal paintings, made en plein air from locations up and down the East Coast. Mike Rooney's paintings vary in subject, from quaint street scenes, to marinas, to marshes, to interiors, to the occasional novelty trailer camper. His paintings capture intimate snapshots into the often overlooked way of coastal life, away from tourist filled beaches.

Mike Rooney's paintings are now on display at ArtSource. For more information please visit www.artsource-raleigh.com. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter.
