Dan’s Papers Cover Art Show on August 20 com). Other artists whose paintings (cover art and non-cover art) will be exhibited for sale are: Casey Chalem Anderson, Ted Asnis, Walter Bernard, Joe Chierchio, Nick Cordone, Yvonne Dagger, Carol Gold, Liz Gribin, Sonia Grineva, Jim Hoell, Eddie Rehm, Pamela Topham, Charles Wildbank, Don Wilson, Doug Zilder and Dan Rattiner. One of my very favorite Paraskevas covers is one he did for the annual Hampton Classic Horseshow in Bridgehampton. Many artists depict the show and the riders, but what is particularly alluring about Paraskevas’s painting is how he captures the daily quiet moments in a way that fascinates the viewer
and portrays the ambience of the show. In one area of the painting, a rider simply leans his foot on a fence to tie his boot. When at the Hampton Classic horseshow those moments are often the most memorable as you move through the hustle and bustle of this busy event taking all the wonders in at once. Dan’s Papers has put together a stellar collection of the magazine’s “Best of the Bestâ€? covers for one special evening of celebration. Guests will enjoy hors d’oeuvres from Seasons of Southampton catering and cocktails by Pisco PortĂłn, while perusing stunning autographed (continued on page 70)

By Tamara Matthews-Stephenson Surfboards, lifeguard stands, kayaking, horses, fishing, children walking on the beach— these are scenes we take in on a regular basis around the Hamptons. Even before I wrote for Dan’s Papers I enjoyed the art that graces their weekly covers because it captures these moments from an artist’s perspective. These scenes articulate the authentic feeling of the culture and fun out here on the East End, while celebrating the local artists in a unique fashion. Over the years Dan’s has showcased quite a collection of original artwork, so it comes as no surprise that some of the beautiful covers of Dan’s Papers are compiled annually for viewing. I am excited to stop by the “Best of the Best� Cover Art Show & Cocktail Party, which will take place on Saturday, August 20 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Seasons of Southampton Restaurant and Caterers at 15 Prospect Street in Southampton. This year’s event is honoring cover artist and longtime contributor to Dan’s, Mickey Paraskevas (www.michaelparaskevas.
