The studio concert performances are finished for another year and my world swings back to visual art. A new oil painting has been conceived and paint is on the canvas; it will be a dreamy small scale juxtoposition between reality and fantasy. I completed my first mixed media piece today, which is a 30x40" painting in acrylic and liquid gold leaf. It will appear here soon.
Tonight my friend Margie and I enjoyed attending the intimate closing party for "Milgrom on Morandi" at the Cross MacKenzie gallery in Georgetown. Lilianne Milgrom's take on the work of Morandi was intriguing....in this exhibit she creates life where there was only "still". Her ceramic forms are grouped together in Morandi inspired clusters and when filtered through the modern sensibility many evoke feelings of modern life, skylines, and other archictectural constructs. In the paintings on exhibit, she injects small bits of biology which move the images back to land of the living. Altogether inspired.
It was lovely visiting with another artist, particularly one as charming as Lilianne, and gallery owner Rebecca Cross was a gracious host. Find Lilianne at www.LilianneMilgrom.com
