Founded 250 years ago, the town of Rumney is a classic New England town with a lovely town common surrounded by a library a church and beautiful white clapboard homes. “A Spot on the Porch” by artist and author Wayne D. King is a 26 page celebration of his home town. The images are a rich combination of traditional color and black and white images and mixed media images that reflect King’s unique style combining traditional photography and watercolor painting or other media that enhance the emotional impact of the art.

King’s images are, quite simply, a celebration of life, blending the real and the surreal to achieve a sense of place or time that reaches beyond the moment into what he calls “a dreamlike quintessentialism” designed to spark an emotional response. Using digital enhancement, handcrafting, painting, and sometimes even straight photography, King takes the viewer to a place that is beyond simple truth to where truth meets passion, hope and dreams.
