FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Two Paintings by Ronald Tinney Are Selected for Prestigious Boston Competition Sunrise Magic and Resting Quietly by Cape Cod artist Ronald Tinney are juried into the Guild of Boston Artists' New England Representational Competition BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 25, 2008 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Out of 200 entries submitted by 70 artists from around New England working in the realist tradition, 35 paintings were selected for The Guild of Boston Artists' Annual New England Representational Competition. Two of the 35 are Sunrise Magic and Resting Quietly by Ronald Tinney (www.ronaldtinney.com), an artist based in West Barnstable, Mass. The final show, chosen by guild members and jurors Robert Douglas Hunter, Pamela Pindell, and Frank Strazzulla Jr., is available for viewing in the President's Gallery until August 31, 2008. Tinney, who primarily paints coastal landscapes, is one of only three artists with two pieces in the show. "I am thrilled that my work was recognized by the judges, and to have two pieces selected is a real honor," he said. After beginning his painting career less than a decade ago during an oil painting class at the Cape Cod Art Association, Tinney has studied with guild members Sergio Roffo, Joseph McGurl, and Donald Demers. His work - represented by seven galleries, ranging from Florida to the North Shore of Mass. - was recently highlighted in a solo show, titled "Waters of Cape Cod," at the Cape Cod Museum of Art. The Annual New England Representational Competition is the only show not limited to guild members. "It is exciting because it gives non-members a chance to show their work in this gorgeous, historic building," commented Gallery Manager William Everett, referencing the guild's Newbury Street location. "It's the one time of year when we reach beyond our four walls and very small, prestigious membership."
