Season 2 of the Emmy® Award winning television series about art and painting, Landscapes through Time with David Dunlop, returns with six new programs featuring six of your favorite artists filmed in beautiful locations that inspired them.  Inspired by David Dunlop’s infectious enthusiasm and encyclopedic knowledge,  Landscapes Through Time combines art, history, travel, philosophy, science and  technique to explore the lives and art of these artists. Your contribution will help us produce our Season Two, and you will receive a Special Kickstarter Price for the DVD set ($50.00 U.S. instead of $79.95 U.S.) - as well as other great rewards.

Our New Programs for Season Two of Landscapes through Time. Host, writer and artist David Dunlop and producer, director and editor Connie Simmons are teaming up again to create Season Two, which will available in time for the Holiday Season.  We will visit Venice, the Hudson Valley, New Mexico and Maine to examine the lives and techniques of art legends Turner, Guardi, Whistler, O’Keefe, Homer and Bellows.  Shot on site and in the studio, the programs will again feature David Dunlop’s unique insight into the personal, artistic, and historic context in which these artists’ worked and he will examine the evolution of their artistic lives and works.

In Season Two, David places his easel at the same locations where the artists set theirs and paints the same scenes, demonstrating the individual style and techniques of each painter while discussing artistic, technical, optical and perceptual insights, incorporating recent scholarship in art history and neuroscience. He explains each step of their painting process - showing how they painted and how they thought. 

Season Two Programs.  Season Two will include six programs from the following list. We have already produced three programs, and we will shoot the additional programs this summer, depending upon the funding and the weather:

(a)  Winslow Homer's Seas at Prouts Neck, Maine (already produced);

(b)  Mysterious Tide Pools of Winslow Homer’s Prouts Neck, Maine (already produced);
