Less Flowers, More Landscapes?

After the show at 7th Street it was brought up to me that there were only 3 landscapes out of 20 paintings and that perhaps "less flowers, more landscapes should be painted..."  So, in that spirit here are two landscapes I have just finished in oil.    The Greenway Reflections painting will be in the Island Art Association Nouveau Show  opening during the Artrageous Artwalk this Saturday.  Hope to see you there.

Red Flight

There is an absolutely amazing botanical garden in San Antonio where I spotted these red Anthuriums peeking out of the leaves in the tropical flower conservatory.  They looked like they wanted to fly up into the light like some strange red butterfly getting ready to take off.

7th Street Gallery Opening

The show at the 7th Street Gallery opened last night.  Thanks to everyone who came out to see it and to Margaret and Wayne Howard at the gallery for hosting and making the work look so great in that space.  It can still be seen on the next two Saturdays from 9am to 1pm, or by calling the gallery.

Red Passion on 6th Street

One more painting for the show on Saturday.  Hope to see you there from 5-8 pm at the 7th Street Gallery.

Milli Fiori and Other Journeys by Susan Henderson The month of May is synonymous with Spring and fresh new beauty. What could personify this more than the paintings of Susan Henderson presenting a new suite of work at the Seventh Street Gallery. “Painting is my passion, my compulsion, and my mystery, all in one.  It has been a lifelong journey, never failing to inspire and challenge me.” Henderson works in watercolor, acrylics and oil, moving easily between the mediums, exploring as well as exploiting the differences of each medium’s unique properties. For example, she may use the transparency of watercolor with the buildup of paint layers to achieve a rich fullness; in direct contrast to the plastic nature of oil paint in which a brush or palette stroke is preserved as a distinct movement of the artist’s hand.” Every piece I create presents the opportunity to make a lasting, unique statement of how I perceive my world. My current work includes landscapes inspired by my latest travels and a number of new beautiful botanicals.” The reception is Saturday, May 11, from 5:00 - 8:00 PM at the Seventh Street Gallery, at 14 South 7th Street (across from LuLu’s) in downtown Fernandina. The show can also be viewed the following two Saturdays during the Farmers’ Market hours, 9 AM - 1 PM. As this is a historic property, it is not handicap accessible. For questions, directions, and alternative viewing times, please call (904) 432-8330.     Parrot Dance by Susan Henderson   Seventh Street Gallery 14 South 7th St. Fernandina Beach, FL 32034 (904) 432 - 8330 (904) 491 - 5269 (between Ash and Centre, across from LuLu's Restaurant) in Downtown As this is a historic property, it is not handicap accessible. For questions, directions, or alternative viewing times, call (904) 432-8330. Show Times and Additional Showings: The Artrageous Artwalk is held on the Second Saturday of the month from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.   Many activities on Saturday evenings make it difficult for everyone to attend the Gallery's reception, therefore we are also open during the downtown Farmer's Market hours (9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.) on the two Saturdays following each show. The artist may or may not be in attendance. If those times are inconvenient, give us a call to make other arrangements.  follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2013 South Seventh Productions, All rights reserved.
