My Ohio Collage Paintings at MacDowell Gallery

Rusty Roof  8 x 10 - Collage on canvas panel

I am currently the featured artist at the MacDowell Gallery located at Reid Hospital in Richmond, Indiana.
Twenty paintings of my favorite subject - farms and barns and beautiful skies! - will be on exhibit until the end of December.

About THE MACDOWELL GALLERY

Located on the second floor of Reid Hospital in Richmond, Indiana, the MacDowell Gallery showcases approximately six regional artists or special events each year.  The gallery primarily features oils, watercolors, mixed media and photography. 

“As patients, families and visitors walk this Reid campus, art plays an essential role in the calming atmosphere we strive to create,” says Foundation Director, JasonTroutwine.  “Most people at Reid are dealing with serious issues.  Art, piano, and gardens seem to provide a brief escape.”

The gallery, named for the former CEO of Reid Hospital, Barry MacDowell, is administered by Edward Thornburg, Adjunct Professor of Art at Indiana University East.

Gallery hours are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

The results!

Another lampshade restoration!
It's about time to add the title "Lamp Lady" to my website!








The top shade was broken.  Restoration was a matter of matching the color choices and painting style of the previous artist - so in this case imitation was a good thing!  Again using the Pebeo 150 Glass Paints, I mixed a match to the original floral design and also used a little white and Pebeo 150 matte medium to make the paint slightly opaque.

In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.
