March Featured Artist
Suzanne D'Arcy
"Quiet Interludes"
March 1-31
Wandering in towns and hills, or traveling overseas to new lands, there are hidden places that beckon with soft sighs of an ordinary peace. That solitude brings contentment to the soul. Suzanne seeks those solemn places. Her tools are her observation, not only of color harmony or interesting compositions or strong brushwork or shape sharpening, but also temperature of mood and atmosphere. These current paintings are of landscapes and people in quiet places that she has encountered in her wanderings.
Suzanne will be at the Gallery to greet you with a Reception on Sunday, March 3 from 12-2pm.
Please stop by and say hello !
