RiverWinds Gallery at 172 Main Street in Beacon presents Wanderings - landscape oil paintings by two incredible artists - Carol Douglas and Shelli Robiner-Ardizzone. The inspirations for the paintings come from extended painting excursions to rural corners in New England, New York and the South - and from the pain and emotions of life. The paintings are directly observed, or inspired, done on site, or finished in the studio with life's emotions adding their own element. The works may be called Painterly Realism but with life's realism a strong influential element. The opening reception for the show is Saturday, May 10, from 5-8pm. (Beacon Second Saturday). This show will run until June 9, 2008.
"Over the years, I became aware of how the natural environment actually transforms my process of observation. My urban psyche is free of tensions, and I have access to a heightened sensitivity to my surroundings Ardizzone. Shelli's primary interest and subject are the grasses, fields, roads, trees themselves, and her involvement and reaction to them.
Carol Douglas finds art transforming and life saving. Always a part of her life, it continues to give new meaning, a life thread, a gift of life and hopefully a gift of life to others. "Art has a meaning that transcends life's difficulties". Through her brush strokes and her colors, she brings an emotion to the surface.
