Fall Into Art

Good quality art endures!
A few weeks ago, a gallerist challenged me to paint Fall paintings. I took on the challenge, and happily took myself to a trip to the candy store - I mean the art store where I went overboard purchasing beautiful shades of oranges and yellows from neon Halloween pumpkin orange to gamboge banana and lemon yellows. I started playing around with compositions depicting the Fall leaves and abstracted versions of Fall woods and landscape. Little did I know that around the corner there would could come exhibitions celebrating Fall Colors where these latest paintings are now on display.
Opening today is an exhibition titled “Autumn Colors” where some of my Fall seasonally themed paintings are on view at “Park View Gallery” in Maryland. “Fall Leaves”, a Watercolor mixed media painting along with “Fall Landscape" are on display at the group exhibit which showcases the brilliant colors of the season. The exhibit consists of artwork from Glen Echo art instructors and resident artists.
Here are the exhibition's details:

Furthermore, due to demand, at Glen Echo Park’s Yellow Barn Studio, beyond teaching the “Beginning to Intermediate Watercolor” class, I am also teaching a “Beginning Drawing” class as well. One can still join the Fall semester art classes that I teach at the Yellow Barn Studio by contacting the Glen Echo Registrar office.
My “Beginning to Intermediate Watercolor” class is on Monday mornings 9:30AM- 12PM, and the “Beginning Drawing” class is on Friday mornings from 9:30AM-12PM.
I will also resume teaching these classes in the Winter semester.

In another part of town and also in Montgomery Country, new Fall abstraction paintings are on display at my solo art exhibition titled “Abstract & The Figure” at the Framer’s Choice Gallery in Kentlands in Gaithersburg, MD.

Moreover, tomorrow is the highly anticipated Oktoberfest in Kentlands in Gaithersburg where thousands and thousands of attendees come to celebrate the German Festival with all its festivities from the folkloric music & Polka dance to authentic German bratwurst, food and beer. All of this is taking place in the heart of Kentlands and on Main street where the gallery is located at. I will be at the gallery from 12-2PM Live painting and talking art to visitors and art fans. Make sure to pass by the gallery around that time and have a look!
