The
event also includes a reception and silent auction.
Hartman
will engage the audience in a talk, which will be illustrated with a
presentation of images, about his large scale narrative oil paintings from 1988
to the present, with an emphasis on paintings that use the landscape of the
Midland area as a backdrop.
Born in

established his reputation with the Painting by the Bay exhibition at
the McMichael Canadian Collection in 1993, which included large-scale paintings
of Georgian Bay and aerial views of the landscape.
The
45-minute presentation will conclude with a question and answer period.
This
