Painting perspective: Montreal artist Wayne Handley By Shaun Kittle shaun@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — On Saturday, Jan. 26, Montreal artist Wayne Handley will bring some perspective to ROTA Gallery in Plattsburgh. The exhibit will feature about 25 of Handley’s city-street views, which were painted using acrylic paint, oil paint and water color. Urban settings are not Handley’s first passion, though. “My first love was sculpture,” Handley said. “Until about 10 years ago, that’s what I focused on—sculptures and marionettes.” Handley began straying from his human-form-inspired artwork so he could focus on perspective. His subjects include cities that are close to the Canadian border, like Ottawa, Edmundston and Montreal in Canada and Madawaska in Maine. The first step in Handley’s painting process is to visit the city and take photographs. Next, he visits his studio and collects the supplies he will need before returning to the location to paint it.
