A similar program, led by celebrated local painter Marcia Chaves, will take place on Sunday, Nov. 12, at 2 p.m., also in the studio.<\/p>\n<p>The gallery talks are free with the price of admission to the museum. Seating is limited in Gari Melchers\u2019 studio.<\/p>\n<p>Henry Wingate was inspired by his first visit to Gari Melchers Home and Studio a few decades ago. He immediately embarked on an effort to reproduce Melchers\u2019 studio for his own workspace in rural Madison, Virginia. Wingate is an oil painter, trained in the Boston School tradition of realism that links directly back to the atelier training experienced by Melchers and thousands of American expatriates in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Portrait painting is for Wingate, as it was for Melchers, the cornerstone of his career, but all subjects have attracted both artists, including figure painting, landscapes and still life.<\/p>\n<p>Wingate has won numerous awards, including First Prize in the American Society of Portrait Artists 2000 competition, the Gold Medal of Honor at the 2003 Hudson Valley Art Association Annual Exhibition, and the Best Painting from Life Award of the National Oil &amp; Acrylic Painters\u2019 Society in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Marcia Covert Chaves is a native of Fredericksburg and has lived for the past 45 years in historic \u201cFalmouth Bottom, in the studio once occupied by Gari Melchers. Many a Melchers canvas documents the environs of the old village, Falls Run and the Rappahannock River, and Chaves has followed in his footsteps. Old Falmouth continues to be a focus of Chaves\u2019 sketching and painting, some examples of which were executed from photographs she took in the early 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>Her other links to Melchers include early study with Bet Githens, who worked in another of Melchers\u2019 studios in Falmouth, and later study with Julien Binford, a friend of Melchers\u2019 widow and a well-known professor of art at Mary Washington College, whom Chaves remembers for his valuable lessons on line quality and figure harmony. Binford was an important advocate in the campaign to open Belmont as a memorial to Gari Melchers. Today Chaves\u2019 studio and \u201csanctuary,\u201d as she puts it, is located at 104 King St., once owned by a beloved fixture of the village, Miss Julia Payne, who served as Gari Melchers\u2019 favorite model of motherhood.<\/p>\n<p>Chaves has participated in countless local shows and at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.\u00a0 She has received Best in Show awards at the Fredericksburg Community Center, Fredericksburg Center for Creative Arts and Uniquely Stafford.<\/p>\n<p>Gari Melchers Home and Studio at Belmont is located at 224 Washington St. in Falmouth, across the Rappahannock River from Fredericksburg.
