Our newest art collection is called "Bluesmen", a series of pastel paintings by artist Mark Hayden.  The portraits on display are of some of the great blues masters, and if you've been in for lunch or dinner in the last week or so, you already know how spectacular they are.  An artist reception will be held on Wednesday, October 15th, with live blues performed by Paul Prue and Mark Hayden (that's right, Mark is an old-fashioned rennaisance man).  This night will be a blast, try not to miss it (if you're coming for dinner, we do recommend reservations).  Reception begins at 7:30 p.m., and music will follow.

Mark Hayden of Bradford, MA achieved Copley Master status in 1993. He was the featured artist the same year in American Artist Magazine in an article written by Charles Movalli.

Hayden started his professional career in 1983 and has painted and taught art ever since. 

Most recent projects include an ongoing series of Blues Masters, eight of which are in the collection of Grammy Winner and Blues Hall of Fame Inductee James Cotton.

Hayden's portraits, figures, landscapes and still life paintings are in collections across the country.
