Silvery Day, Boats at Wharf, New England Harbor, Impressionist Oil

About the Item

A talented painter of New England harbor scenes, Rena Small was born in central Massachusetts in 1902. She studied painting under regionalist Umberto Romano at the Worcester Art Museum school of art during the mid 1920s. She first visited the Gloucester, Massachusetts, art colony in 1928, and undertook study with Anthony Thieme, the colony’s leading teacher at the time. In the ensuing years she returned to Gloucester each summer painting alongside Thieme, Emile Gruppe and Francis Mulhaupt, whom she knew and admired. She was a member of and exhibited with the Gloucester Society of Arts throughout the mid 1930s. She also exhibited with the Rockport Art Association. During the 1940s Small accepted a position with the Carlton Engraving Company in Worcester, Massachustts, and was one of the company’s leading artist-designers.

Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career that lasted 17-years. Beginning in 1992, she studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike...
