Paintings on display this month at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ.

On display this month at Artists' Gallery is: Reality Check a piece inspired by a trip to St. John the Divine Cathedral in NYC, Goldfinch, Summer Plover, Little Blue Heron, and Summer House at the Shore which is hanging in the hallway entrance. As usual I have a number of prints also available. (I'd like to thank Michael Schweigart, another fantastic Artists' Gallery artist for supplying me with the above photo.).

Reminder: My featured exhibit "Flight/Patterns" with Jennifer Cadoff, opens September 4, with a reception on Sat. September 6, 5-8pm—all are welcome to attend.

Flight/Patterns, update

I find the theme "Flight/Patterns" very exciting, as it really reflects Jennifer's (Cadoff) intricate pen and ink works, as well as my own specific inspirations in nature. I have a total fascination in birds—particularly the ability to fly, as well as the spectacle of nature that offers unending inspiration in it's patterns and color. As I've explored in "I Spy" (Eastern box turtle).

So, one month until the show opens! Jennifer and I have the post card exhibit cards and are working on getting labels together to mail the invites out. If you're not on the Artists' Gallery, or my mailing list and you would like to get a reminder for the show, please drop me an email at: BeatriceBork@gmail.com. We'd enjoy seeing you at our opening reception.

Opening weekend Art of the Animal

The Bennington Center for the Arts, Bennington, VT

I had a wonderful time this weekend in Bennington Vermont, for the opening of Art of the Animal Kingdom XIX. The Bennington Center for the Arts, is simply a wonderful place, it's a large, open, beautiful space, with beautifully curated galleries in a scenic area. The gallery director, family and staff made the artists feel welcome, and we were pampered to a wonderful day of events, reception and dinner on Saturday, along with breakfast and a quiet walk on our own through the Center on Sunday. There are more than 50 artists' works at the Animal Kingdom gallery alone, and I will treasure the exhibit catalog as a fond remembrance of the artists I met. There is a lot to see at The Bennington, beyond our Animal Art exhibit, and I would highly recommend a stop there if you are in the area!

Dude with Attitude

I was recently excited to present the above commissioned watercolor painting, and it was equally well received, entitled "Dude with Attitude".

This is one of the lizards the clients had enjoyed observing on one of their trips out west, and had ideas about character and wanted a western feel to the setting. They presented me with some of their photos of various lizards—but wanted the piece to be of my creation and style.
