Patrick O’Brien and the Battle of Stonington
August 10, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Artist Patrick O‘Brien has undertaken a new painting depicting the 1814 Battle of Stonington. This talk will explore the evolution of this idea and the research that is the foundation of a painting that represents historical fact. O‘Brien’s paintings capture the glory and the grandeur of the age of sail. He is a full-time professional artist and illustrator and his art has appeared in magazines and newspapers, on posters and greeting cards, and even on billboards. He has been commissioned to create marine artwork for such clients as The US Coast Guard, the US Naval Institute, Lockheed Martin, and Exxon Mobil.
