Works by Kathleen Walsh

The Artists ' Alliance opening June 10, 6-9 9p 100 Taylor St, Suite 101 Colonial Beach Gallery open Sat-S Sun, 11a -5 5p

The Artists' Alliance (AA) at Jarrett Thor Fine Arts is thrilled about the June show.

We are featuring area painter

Kathleen Walsh. Kathleen's show will highlight floral images, and her honed approach to using art to appreciate the world around us. She is a master colorist, and in describing painting

Cherry Blossoms stated, "Painting a branch, one becomes aware of its subtle color changes. A branch is not brown, but blue and gray with hints of red." She is also a sophisticated user of negative space. "It is the empty space which is never empty but full of delicate variations of color, tone, and texture." Come out and see her beautiful work. ~ Rob Rudick

Hailey explains that the theme of her June exhibit is rooted in early experiences with her family. "Growing up, my family was very outdoorsy and, while we moved around a lot, we almost always lived on the coast. For me, summer has always meant time on the water. With this show I aim to capture the essence of warm weather and the relaxing energy of the ocean, while celebrating all the beautiful and diverse life that thrives above and below the surface. The random fluid nature of pour painting lends itself particularly well to depicting the subject of water." Light gives viewers a glimpse of the dance-like movement of undersea creatures in paintings such as "Green Sea Turtles" and "Dolphins," while "White Caps" conveys the power of the ocean and "Seagull Sunset" depicts the fleeting and rapidly-changing vista at the climax of each day at the shore.
