Stockton Artist Mike Mann will display his latest collection of watercolor and acrylic paintings at the John Prall Jr. House- located across SR 29 from Prallsville Mills 1/2 mile north of Stockton, NJ. An opening reception will be held on Friday night, Nov. 6 from 7 to 9pm. The show will also be open on Nov. 7 and 8 from 10am to 5pm and on Nov. 15 & 22 from 1 to 5pm.
Mann’s works are created from life and are full of interest and color. His work is a merging of realistic and impressionistic. Most of the paintings were created close to home but include works done last winter in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Mann studied under Steven R. Kidd at the Art Students League of NY. Kidd was the lead illustrator of the NY Daily News for many years.
A 1/3 portion of all sales will be donated to the Delaware River Mills Society which operated the Prall House and Prallsville Mills. Mann says that the mills is one of his favorite places to paint. It colorful with varied scenery and is located just a short downhill bike ride from his Stockton home.
Stockton is one of the most beautiful little river towns left on the Delaware. The Prall House was the colonial era home of John Prall Jr. and it creates an excellent venue for Mann\\\’s paintings. Visitors can enjoy touring the old house as well as the art.
