A Case of the Reds

In spite of the snow yesterday, the Opening Reception for the exhibition A Case of the Reds at Maryland Arts Day 2014 took place in Annapolis, MD at the House Office Building, Prince George's Delegation Suite. I have two mixed media collages in the exhibition along with 17 other featured artists. The exhibition will run through April 9, 2014.

The opening reception is Saturday, February 15 from 5- 8:00 p.m. Each of the 12 artists included in the exhibition had large banners of reproductions of their art displayed in the gallery's store front window.

Joy in the Morning

I named this abstract acrylic painting Joy in the Morning (24" x 78"). Using both soft and dark contrasting colors, line, implied shapes, texture and rhythm, I tried to signify the feeling of hope and the possibility of redemption after a difficult ordeal. A womb-like shape, referencing man's primordial beginnings, emerges from a dark murky bottom into the sunrise of impending promise. This painting, created in January, will be included in the exhibit  "From the Ashes: Rebirth of the Human Spirit" February 11 - March 4, 2014 in Washington D.C.
