A Working Artists' Studio

Hillary Osborn and Doug Rugh had separate studios at the Cataumet Art Center in Bourne, MA until the Fall of 2008 when they moved to combined gallery and studio space at Queen's Buyway - the historic neighborhood of Falmouth, MA near the Village Green on Cape Cod. Both artists create landscapes from the surrounding area and create still lifes. Landscapes are created on location (rather than from photographs) and studio paintings are created from those paintings done in the field. Doug Rugh also paints portraits and sessions are done from life in the studio but the artist will also accept commissions from photographs when the subject isn't available for sittings or when the collector has a photograph to be translated into a painting.The artists believe that it is important for artists to work from life and on location to study nuances of the ever changing light with a practiced eye.

The public is welcome to visit Sunday morning from 9 - 11 when Doug Rugh is often painting from the portrait model.
