Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Steven P. Goodman

In 1990, after a decade of painting — at the University of Vermont, L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in France and Parsons School of Design in New York — Steven P. Goodman put down his brushes and turned his focus to digital imagery. Just a few years ago, he returned to the canvas, beginning a ritual he believed would lend itself to artistic risk taking: Nearly every day he painted one small landscapes or still life and posted it on his website. Those works, along with some larger paintings and digital images, are at the Jackson Gallery, Town Hall Theater, in Middlebury through November 11. He named the exhibit “Fleeting Moments/Stolen Glances” because, writes Goodman, “It is the lingering impression, the fleeting memory that I want to capture and hold onto as our lives speed by in time and space.” Pictured: “Bike Path Along the Chambly Canal.”
