Don't be surprised if you spy an artist painting in Riverhead or Greenport over the next week. Bronx painter Daniel Hauben has already scoped out these locales to make paintings while in residence at East End Arts in Riverhead. The landscape painter begins an artist-in-residency with East End Arts that runs from July 17 to 24, 2015. On Tuesday, July 21, he will present an artist talk "Creating a Sense of Place" from 8 to 9:30 p.m. in the Carriage House on the Riverhead campus of East End Arts.

During the talk, Hauben will show a cross-section of his urban landscapes along with 22 painting that were commissioned for the new  Robert A. M. Stern Library on the campus of Bronx Community College (completed in 2012). Click here to see some of the artwork. Hauben is also expected to share some of his painting techniques and experiences as an en plein air painter working in an urban environment.
