AUGUST 2024: Exploration A Group Exhibition Of Visual Art
Richard Boyd Art Gallery opens August with a group exhibition of original paintings in a range of styles from traditional realism to pointillism created by a group of nationally and internationally renowned visual artists with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and styles. The exhibit is comprised of a magnificent selection of paintings that offer viewers a visual narrative of feelings expressed in color, depth, and texture. From the calming beauty of a foggy landscape to the immersive experience of a surrealistic dreamscape, art takes viewers on a personal journey of exploration. Art is an international language we all understand, offering viewers adventure and discovery. The exhibition is a showcase of original paintings created from the soul of the artist. Each painting is a well rendered expression of emotion, passion, and feelings. Selected paintings include works by Deena S. Ball – contemporary watercolors, C.R. Bryant – maritime oils, Patricia Chandler – contemporary oil and cold wax, Richard H. Eyster – dry-brush watercolors, Jane Herbert – acrylic, and HM Saffer II – pointillist style oils.
