Yesterday, some friends and I, who collaborate on all things art as The 7 Palettes, opened a new exhibit in Bethesda, Maryland. Our art — some 40+ pieces — will be displayed for three months at Maplewood Park Place on Old Georgetown Road. Come see our pretties, please — any day between now and August 24, from 10 to 4 daily. And congratulations to Sara Becker, whose large abstract painting sold during the Opening Reception!! Way to go, Sara!
You’re invited to a ‘Reception with Chocolate‘, Friday, Jan. 12, 6 to 8 pm. at Gallery B in downtown Bethesda, MD.

This might be my favorite among the new batch.

It will be exhibited at the upcoming month-long show at Gallery B in Bethesda, MD.
Six art buddies and I are set to open a new month long exhibit next week. (Kick-off public reception on the 12th – details to follow. ) Have been crunching to do SEVEN new paintings for the show. Here’s number one:
Dark Pines on the Bay. Oil on Arches Oil Paper. 2018. 16 x 12.
The Bethesda Urban Partnership sent out their weekly newsletter and one of my paintings (‘C&O Canal Faceoff’) was showcased in the ad about Gallery B. Cool.
Reminder, I’m scheduled to be at the gallery Wednesday from 3pm to 6pm. Drop by if you want to dabble in iPad art ~~~~~ or buy one of our lovely paintings! How to Visit. The gallery is also open Wed through its last day, Saturday, 12pm to 6pm. Thanks to the many who’ve visited — and purchased — our art.

The day was cold and icy, but that didn’t deter our lively guests from traveling to Gallery B in Bethesda to celebrate the opening of our month-long art exhibit. Thanks to all of our friends and family who were able to attend. And for those who couldn’t get there – we missed you!
Each of us made several nice sales of paintings, prints and greeting cards – and received kudos from those who weren’t in a position to buy. Here’s a glimpse of the festivities.
Here’s another new painting for the Gallery B show. Also inspired by the C & O Canal — late afternoon with the sun raking low across the tree tops.
C & O Face-off. Oil on Linen. 8 x 10.
I did a similar scene in gouache a few years ago, when I was first dabbling in that medium. I love the contrast between the trees in light and shadow and their reflections in the calm canal water.
C & O Autumn. Gouache.
Some of my painting pals and I (aka ‘the 7 Palettes’) applied awhile back to exhibit our art at Gallery B in downtown Bethesda, MD. We were honored to be selected for a month-long exhibit at this prestigious location during January 2017. Gallery B is a project of the Bethesda Urban Partnership, a local non-profit organization charged by Montgomery County, MD with promoting Bethesda. It gives special support to the arts in our area.
Under the theme of ‘Local Color’, we will showcase our art reflecting the lovely scenes and vistas of the Greater Washington area. Here’s one of my recent paintings of the C & O Canal that will be displayed during this exhibit.
C & O Spotlight. Oil on Linen. 11 x 14.
Gallery B is located at 7700 Wisconsin Avenue, #E, Bethesda, MD 20814. Gallery hours are 12:00 – 6:00 pm Wednesdays through Saturdays. There will be a public reception during the Bethesda ‘Art Walk’, January 13th, 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Please join us!
I don’t know whether to start where I left off and come forward or where I am now and go backward. Guess the latter.
Last evening I delivered a painting to the new Bethesda office of Evers & Co., a regional real estate firm. We instructors at the Yellow Barn were invited to submit one of our paintings for display during this evening’s ribbon cutting and reception and thereafter. Here’s what I submitted from my private collection. I’ve loved this ‘baby’ too much to offer it for sale — til now.
