The 40th annual juried art competition for the Cincinnati Art Club has just announced the artists included-and I’m IN! Over 400 entries from 24 states were reviewed by Dr. Julie Aronson, Curator of American Painting at the Cincinnati Art Museum. She chose 68 pieces. The opening reception is Friday, November 7 from 6-9. The reception is open to the public. The show will continue on Saturdays and Sundays from 2-5 until November 23rd.
My painting in the show is a mixed media piece I created on a snowy day last winter. The theme was in response to the challenge for a contest sponsored by the Rising Sun Pendleton. The question we were to answer was, “Where do you go for your GREAT ESCAPE?” My response was simple- “I GET OUT!” The images in this piece are the sun, the river, the garden, my river valley. That’s where I go to escape-out of my front door. The beauty of where I live is my constant motivation.
Come join us at the opening! It promises to be a wonderful show.
