Morning Application

After finishing a class about ArtWriting, I had an opportunity to visit two or three art galleries this morning with friends. Not an unusual sort of outing, except that now the little cards posted beside the various paintings had more meaning to me.

At the Winchester Gallery, we studied the exhibitions of two artists ~ Brad Pasutti’s exhibition Intertwining and Barbara Edwards exhibition: Road Trip, A Paper Trail. Copies of their New Release, from May describing their history and their work was available in the gallery. Last night’s class!

Then it was on to The Avenue Gallery to see the works of the artists Brent Lynch - Painter, and Susan Rankin - Glazier. Artist’s Statements were posted on the wall beside their works. Artists Statements were Session Three.

As we strolled the sidewalks, sculptures by local artists were placed.  Plaques at the base were much briefer telling the artists name and the sponsor.

I looked at the artwork with a different eye today, felt the artist behind the work and wondered who wrote the words - the artist, a writer or both.
