OLD FORGE — “An Evening With Greg Klein,” an exhibit of very recent plein-air paintings by Klein, will be on display Sept. 2 through Oct. 1 at the Old Forge Library, 220 Crosby Blvd.

Klein has been painting evenings throughout the summer to create the oil paintings that will be on display. Klein is an award winning and highly collected artist whose evocative works have a classic feel.

Klein is showing new work painted onsite, outdoors. Nature and art have always been a large part of Klein’s life. He studied wildlife biology and art at the University of Nebraska and spent 10 years in Colorado, exploring and painting the vast landscape of the Rocky Mountains.

Attracted to the breathtaking beauty of Upstate NY, Klein decided to settle in the Adirondacks. Klein enjoys painting on site outdoors (en plein air) and in his Old Forge studio.

As part of the town wide First Friday Art Walk, the exhibit’s opening reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 2. Light refreshments will be served with live music by Midnite Mike.
