Biography: Dwight Blaney was born in Brookline, Massachusetts in 1865. He was originally trained as an architect. Encouraged by his friend, John Singer Sargent he traveled to Europe to paint where he was influenced by Monet and the Impressionists. He painted at Fenway Studios in Boston from 1906-43 and would visit Bermuda often. He also spent summers in Maine at his home on Ironbound Island. Of visits by John Singer Sargent to Blaney on Ironbound Island, the following was written by Blaney's grandson, Ben Blaney, and submitted to JSS Gallery. The reference is specifically to a painting by Sargent of Blaney titled The Artist Sketching. John Singer Sargent visited my grandfather Dwight Blaney several times on Ironbound Island, and made at least 7 paintings there, only 2 of which I found on your site-- On the Verandah & The Artist Sketching, (both showing his friend and fellow artist Dwight Blaney). . . Both . . . were painted on Ironbound Island, Dwight Blaney's summer home in Maine, where a number of fellow artists visited him. (See the article 'Dwight Blaney: An American Impressionist' in American Art Review, vol. 19, no. 1(Jan-Feb, 2002), p.184-187. Dwight Blaney's Ironbound Island lies in Frenchman Bay, about 3 miles East of Bar Harbor, ME. Dwight died in 1944, though the family still goes there seasonally. The big house, the one in On the Verandah burned the summer of 1944. A log cabin stands on the site today.
