If you love contemporary, original, colorful art, you will love Julie's 9x12 intricate drawings.
Not many folk could do these! I couldn't!
And 3 are already sold before the opening!
Beautiful portraits, still life, florals, landscapes and autumn scenes are all included in Sheila's charming and very accomplished work that is executed in oil, acrylic, watercolor and pencil.
Lucretia has been a teacher for many years and you will learn a lot just by looking at her
extremely sophisticated, professional level, harmonious oils and watercolors. A must see!
I can’t imagine my life without my sister. I hope you have someone to laugh with, share good and bad times with and have some history with! The fact that she is my only blood sister makes her very special. But it does not make her my only sister! I hope you also have friends or other relatives that are like wonderful sisters to you. That is a great joy in life for women, friendships that endure. I hope men have such friendships but I cannot speak for them, as I am a woman. As a matter of fact, I’ve realized I so often paint women because I can only speak for myself and share my life in my artwork. Everything I paint are my choices, my likes and loves, my need to explore the many sides of my life and my personality.
All of this leads me to this particular exhibit. SISTERS includes 3 guest artists, my only blood sister, Julie Brown from Scottsville; my dear new friend and student, Sheila McAuliff from Greece; and an artist/teacher friend that I’ve had for over 30 years, Lucretia West from Caton, someone I’ve looked up to and wanted to learn from. Since all of our artwork is very different, I found myself exploring the psychological aspects of these friendships which then led me to the exploration of my own personality that could relate to these 3, unique, talented women! If you’ve seen my work, you know I have many art styles and subject matter interests. I believe they all stem from the varied facets of my life, thoughts and feelings. Those facets allow me to fit many niches that hold fascinatingly different possibilities for friends who also happen to paint with the many colors of the rainbow, even if ever so slightly and softly!
So, even though their work is so different from mine, my personal work for this exhibit will contain 7 of “my very different women” to point to a few sides of my being. The other 60 plus pieces will be a variety of traditional landscapes, a reproduction or two, very original, contemporary, intricate drawings, mini paintings suitable for doll houses, watercolors mounted on boards, and prints, so much work, as varied, accomplished and fascinating as my friends are!!
This beautiful, unusual,, SISTERS Exhibit will be on display until October 24th, you won’t want to miss it! #FirstFridayROC
