Fairweather House and Gallery presents an exhibit of work by Paul Brent, Friday, Aug. 21, 1-3 p.m. Fairweather House and Gallery is located at 612 Broadway St., in the historic Gilbert District of downtown Seaside. A light brunch and champagne mimosas will be served.

Paul Brent is an artist whose work has become internationally known to represent the coastal lifestyle. His paintings in watercolor and oil deftly portray the beauty of the sea on paper and canvas. Brent and his wife Lana Jane have an art gallery in Panama City, Fla., where they live part of the year. From June to October they live in Seaside, where they have a home and an artist’s studio.

A 10-year local resident, Brent is active in the Seaside Fourth of July parade, demonstrating his painting techniques through a series of events. This month, Paul and Lana Jane Brent will host a fundraiser for the North Coast Land Conservancy, NCLC, as well as offering a silent auction for an original Paul Brent watercolor, a work of art depicting the Neawanna Point Estuary.
