Richard Harrington

Richard Harrington, a Providence, R.I. native, earned a B.S. degree in Industrial Arts Education and a M.Ed. in Special Education from Rhode Island College. After serving as a Special Education teacher in the public schools and an Administrator in the Department of Education for more than twenty years, he returned to his interest in art in the late seventies. Richard is now painting full time. A beleiver in life-long learning, he has participated in numerous drawing and painting classes, including courses at the Rhode Island School of Design and workshops throughout New England.
Mr. Harrington is a past Board member of the Rhode Island Watercolor Society and the Rhode Island Alliance for Arts Education. He is also a member of the Wickford Art Association, the Providence Art Club, and the Cape Cod Art Association.
His paintings cover a wide range of subjects: landscapes, cityscapes, flowers and his favorite still lifes. He paints only what he sees, at times improvising on the subject matter or inventing elements to enhance the painting. Using strong composition and color, he paints in a realistic, representational manner to capture the unique, maybe even the unusual beauty in our everyday surroundings. Objects from around the house, family heirlooms, and yard sale treasures find their way into Richard's expressive paintings. Landscapes are often local scenes a short distance from home or from the familiar paths of Cape Cod.
Exhibiting since 1989, Richard has participated in many open exhibitions and juried shows and has been the recipient of numerous awards for his work. He maintains a studio in Providence and one in Brewster, Massachusetts as well.
