Throw-back Thursday

"Kingfisher" © Beatrice Bork 1983

One could say this piece was the one that really started it all. This watercolor painting, entitled "Kingfisher," was done in High School and was ultimately selected to be displayed at the NJ State Museum in Trenton through the Teen Arts Program back in 1983.

Clifton Arts Center, "In Their Eyes" Art Exhibit

It was a beautiful day to have an opening at the Clifton Arts Center yesterday. The sun was shining and the climate was comfortable, the Art Center is located on lovely grounds which also has some sculpture. The opening was 5- 8pm with refreshments and we even had a pianist playing music. All four of the artists were there for a meet and greet, and as all shows before you know it, the time ended and we made our way home.  If you didn't get a chance to swing by, the show is up until July 20th, where we'll also have a closing (info. to come).

I also found out the building we are showing our work in, a nice open space, was also at one time The U.S. Animal Quarantine Station and built in the early 1900s, so our animal art seems to be fitting. I also found a nice little archived article about Clifton in the NYTimes, dated back to 1991, which includes some interesting historical facts, click here for the link.
