Thursday, I went to Washington DC to view some exhibits in the Colorfield Remix celebration. Read about the movement here. We stopped at the Luther Brady Gallery at George Washington University first. Prominent were some works by Gene Davis. There was also a piece by Morris Louis They used a technique called stained canvas where they used acrylic paints mixed with turpentine called Magna Their work was very graphic and linear.
(Gene Davis piece) (saw so many pieces -- if this isnt a Gene Davis piece, it certainly is representative of it)
We also stopped at The Phillips gallery, which included more from the same artists. The Phillips also has other works on exhibit. Saw a Kandinsky that I was quite taken with.
The organizer of the trip Linda Dubin Garfield of the Art Sisters rented a limo for the ride down from Wynnewood. There were a total of ten who came along. The Art Sisters who came in addition to Linda were Ellen Abraham, Sandi Neiman Lovitz, Marcia Treiger, Deb Simon Us non Art Sisters were Joye Schwartz, Ruth Wolf , Sue Long and Elsa Wachs.
I hope you will click on all the artists websites and see their work. I did not have links for Sue Long and Elsa Wachs. Sue is a medical illustrator, originally from California and created and sold prints in the San Francisco Bay area. Elsa, who has lived here all her life, was a fiber artist who created pieces for the Jewish religion for many years. She is returning to her early training in painting which she loves.
These were a great bunch of ladies. All passionate about their art. I will be posting news about this group in the future.
Meanwhile I sold another painting on Etsy! I have to admit I was kind of surprised.
