Guilford, CT Artist Brendan Loughlin

Brendan Loughlin is a local artist who primarily paints landscapes and floral designs. His work can be seen all over downtown Guilford, CT and he recently has starting showing some of his pieces at my place of work Nautical Needles and Decorative Interiors, in Westbrook, CT. Loughlin has become somewhat of a local phenomenon in the town of Guilford and many individuals are gathering to paint with him. He has no formal art training but yet is giving individuals interested in his technique lessons. Loughlin has even started to do so at my company. He calls his new technique pastac, a blend of pastels and shellac. Loughlin's goal is to end people's fears about painting. He claims thats this new technique is virtually fool proof and anyone can do it. Some employees at my company have tried painting like this and have made beautiful pieces, so Loughlin must have figured something out. I on the other hand have not gotten to paint with him yet because he comes on Tuesdays when I have class :(.
