“”, Linda Warshaw @Art First Gallery “Night Scene”, Rob Rudick @The Artists' Alliance
"SIZE MATTERS" Featuring Art First artist Linda Warshaw First Friday reception, Sept. 4, 6pm to 9pm Exhibit on view through Sept. 27 Open Thurs. Through Sun., 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
What does a proton look like? What do up quarks and down quarks look like? How small is the smallest? How big is the biggest? Questions like these were the incentive for Linda Warshaw's latest show.. Choosing quantum mechanics as a theme for an art show was a challenge for the Stafford-based artist. "It was so different a subject. It helped me, though, to get out of my comfort zone and grow as an artist," said Warshaw. "As a theme, I found out that interpretation and representation was boundless! Though I have spent over a year on this show, I have hardly explored all the artistic possibilities. It was a rewarding choice to do; I am glad I persevered and did it." Warshaw's September featured-artist show dallies between the 2D and 3D, the manipulation of colors, shapes, sizes and repetition. Her imagination and responses to her readings also helped create these pieces. ~Casey Shaw
“Road Trip”, Stacey Gaglio @Brush Strokes Gallery
All Together - Apart! Brush Strokes Gallery 824 Caroline St.
Reopened our doors Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11am to 5 pm.
“Bodie Light at Night” Buddy Lauer @Brushstrokes The September exhibit could be viewed through a lens that highlights sights and scenes that unite us in heart though we may be physically apart. at Night, "The Purina Building" by Sarah Flinn , "Shenandoah Sunset" by Collette Caprara, and the personality of Carol Haynes ' "Little Blackie" pet portrait depict
elements of constancy amidst change. In addition, a number of works connote the reprieve of a short getaway, whether it is through the act of creation referenced by Pete Zincks ' "Pick a Pen" welded steel sculpture, Penny A Parrish 's ocean scene "Beach Blankets," or the trailer and camp chairs featured in Stacy Gaglio' s "Road Trip." Yet two more pieces put this moment in perspective: In her "Ablaze" watercolor painting, Nancy Williams juxtaposes several burning trees with the serenity of the full landscape of mountains and green trees and Norma Woodward shows that there can be a way up and out in her photo-on-aluminum "Spiral Staircase." Online gallery: www.brushstrokesfredericksburg.com. The gallery will also be open by appointment. To ensure the well-being of all, safety protocols, including the use of masks, will be followed.
