Sea Change: Works by Stephen Estrada

The Rehoboth Art League opens five new art exhibitions this May as the summer season nears. From May 10, RAL will display two shows featuring works from their permanent Fine Art Collection — “Sitting Pretty,” which is curated by Le Rowell and Denise Clemons, and “Self-Taught” — two oil painting exhibitions — “Sea Change: Works by Stephen Estrada” and “The Everyday: Oil Paintings by Michael McSorley” — and one art quilt show — “From River to Ocean: Textile Art by Anne Bellas.”

On the evening of May 10th from 5-7 pm, the art league will be hosting an opening reception for these new exhibits, inviting anyone interested to visit the Corkran, Tubbs, Ventures, and Homestead galleries to see the displayed work.

In the Tubbs Gallery, Stephen Estrada paints the various moods of the ocean in “Sea Change.” Our connection to the sea goes back beyond time; its moods and rhythms affect our daily lives. For Stephen, the ocean has always been a source of solace, mystery and adventure. He has intimate knowledge of the ocean’s beauty and its awesome power. These oil paintings reflect a lifetime of experiences in and near the sea; sometimes tumultuous, sometimes indescribably tranquil. He hopes they convey his sense of awe in the presence of this essential element.
