Dancing in Wet
Christina Giza
$700.00


Artist statement: Painting with watercolor color is my key to my secret garden, to my way down the rabbit hole, to my very own looking glass. Watercolor is a very fresh, intuitive process that involves layering water-based paint on paper. Every once in a while, I have an inspired moment where I create exactly the effect I wanted - or even more exciting - I produce something that veers from my original idea and exceeds my expectations.
Specific medium: Watercolor on paper

Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: ARTIST STATEMENT MARSHA GLEASON I am feeling a true urgency to paint now—- from instinct, observation, and gut responses— in the practice of Direct Oil Painting. Painting for me reveals: searches and surprises, methods from master teachers, sensibilities and masses of paint. The figure is most compelling to me, as is the paint itself. Together, they give attention to things that matter. It’s all in there, and I’m all in. _____________ .

Artist statement: I shot this one early morning on a work trip in the Bay Area, hoping to capture a warmer, more colorful sunrise. But sometimes we have to play the hand we are dealt, and these particular conditions created a certain moodiness that worked for the scene.

Artist statement: I had been out on a cold late winter day along the northern MA coastal marshlands. I love the Northern Harrier and I knew she frequented that marshland looking for moles, mice etc. there is however never a guarantee she will flying by. Three times that day she allowed me to enjoy her company by landing on a dead tree branch not far from me.

Suddenly she decided to head off and I snapped her picture. Thinking it was too late in the evening for a picture I didn’t look at it quickly.

Magnificent Loon
Magnificent Loon
Lucia Hackett
$150.00


Artist statement: I was out kayaking on a beautiful summer morning in NH. I knew there was a pair of loons with a chick and hoped our paths would cross. However knowing any encounter with a loon is magic. I crossed paths with this single loon and it made my heart flutter when he rose up in the water and his head was backlit by the sun’s reflection off the windows of a home on the hilly background. Perfect timing of the sun and earth’s rotation!
