Capt. Robert Lumpp is a native of Mattoon though he did not spend much time there after graduating from high school. He now lives in Effingham.
His varied background includes radio and tv broadcasting, advertising and commercial art. He became involved in river boating in his late thirties and pursued that as a full time career. Lumpp operated passenger vessels in several cities with Hannibal, Missouri, as his headquarters.
Along the way he was involved with fine art, and he studied with artists in Hannibal, Little Rock, Salem, Illinois, and Florida. He was inspired by the American Flag and has also featured paintings of Old Glory. His website is theflagpainter.com.
As July’s featured artist he is showing his beach and water paintings.

Miss Mary
Pastel Plein Air Workshop with Tracey Maras
Tracey Maras is best known for her realistic pastel paintings of the natural world around us and life interacting with it. Working with pure pigment, her pieces are vibrant yet intimate views of Central Illinois and beyond.
Since 2000, Maras’ work has spanned many themes including wildlife, landscapes, interiors and portraits. She consistently pushes the limits of the pastel medium, exploring new techniques in each work. Maras actively teaches pastel techniques in workshops and classes throughout Illinois.

Painting outdoors (en Plein Air) can be intimidating, but it can also advance your skills in painting by leaps and bounds. During this 1-day workshop, you will learn tips and techniques to make your outdoor painting adventures more productive and enticing. We will spend the day painting at an outdoor venue on Lake Decatur where you will have plenty of opportunity to paint a variety of subjects, including gardens.
