Darkness into Light
Darkness into Light
Joyce V. Caras
$575.00


Artist statement: During the winter months of 2021 there seemed to be a darkness in the atmosphere that I felt compelled to overcome. I paint from nature, and found that the colors of the plant convey this sentiment. While painting I discovered that the deeper shades of red -and of dark opaque differences- encouraged me to express lighter shade elements at once. The elongated shape allows for such expansion within the watercolor process.
Specific medium: Watercolor over graphite. 140 lb. paper

Evan Charney
$250.00

Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with printmaking. It’s a perverse art form, as much craft as art. It requires time and patience to acquire hand skill, like a musician who must first master the instrument before being able to make music. And unlike painting, the outcome in printmaking is indirect, the result uncertain until proved. But there is nothing as satisfying as “pulling” the print, the “Aha!” moment when you lift paper from press and the final result is revealed.

Peony Awakening
Peony Awakening
Judith Freeman Clark
$800.00

Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: As an artist working in transparent watercolor, I want to pique the viewer's curiousity and encourage appreciation of this challenging medium. My paintings invite a closer look at the myriad forms and colors of flowers, and ask how light and shadow influence the interpretation of landscapes. In "Peony Awakening," brilliant tones of pink fuschia, and cerise contrast with green stems and leaves, while the stark black background guarantees strong visual impact.

Artist statement: As an artist working in transparent watercolor, I want to pique the viewer's curiousity and encourage appreciation of this challenging medium. My paintings invite a closer look at the myriad forms and colors of flowers, and ask how light and shadow influence the interpretation of landscapes. In "Feeling Cheerful" (a simple rendition of daisies in a pewter bowl) I experimented with granulating pigments. I used a wet-into-wet technique, encouraging them to blend together freely.

Judith Freeman Clark
$600.00


Artist statement: As an artist working in transparent watercolor, I invite the viewer to look closely at the myriad forms and colors of flowers, or ask how light and shadow influence the interpretation of landscapes. In February 2015, I visited a large cemetery in Italy. My painting, "Sunlight and Shadows at Staglieno, Genoa," shows hazy morning light filtering among thousands of gravestones, depicts the portico emerging from shadows into sunlight, and suggests houses scattered across a distant hillside.
