New Art Show!

The Randomness of Vision Oil paintings by Cat Moleski October 2 - December 2 "This collection of paintings represents the varied path my artistic interest has taken over the last few years. Images, dreams, new and old photos all catch my imagination and inspire me to translate them into oil paintings. Each painting draws out new and old techniques as I mix or layer the colors. I like the randomness of my vision, as I never quite know where I will go next. For a few years now I have been working with Venetian Turpentine as an additive, glaze, and extender of my oil colors. I love the richness and depth this material brings to the work, but it is also difficult to handle and takes a long time to dry, creating unexpected drips and blends of colors, or shiny enamel pools of paint." Artist's Reception, Monday, October 8, 5:30-7:30 Free and open to the public.
