May 2020 is the month that five friends are supposed to have an exhibit at Gallery Uptown in Grand Haven. As things look today, it might not happen. I would like to share this painting with you, and tell you about our little challenge.
We got together last November, to select five different items to use in a still-life challenge. The items selected were: the mid-century coffee pot, white cup, bananas, red flower, and two fabrics...the polka dotted and the stripped. We each had to create a work of art using these five items, plus whatever else we wanted to add.
As we get closer to May, we will learn if the show will go on, or if it is cancelled! The opening is scheduled for the first Friday of May. You will enjoying seeing all five solutions to the challenge, hanging together, along with several other recent works by each of us.
"FRESH FROM THE STUDIO" artists: Margaret Benefiel, Jan McLaughlin, Nancy Clouse, Rosemary Hayes, Marilyn Ryan, and Sandy Meyer.
