Follow Me Maybe — Watercolor/Gouache © Beatrice Bork

"Flight/Patterns" is up and running, our reception last night was a lot of fun! I really appreciate everyone who trekked out to visit us and see the show. The exhibit will be up until October 5th, where we'll have a "Coffee and Conversation" closing reception — and hopefully more cooperative weather.  Details can be found at Artists' Gallery website.

Above is one of the paintings I have on display Follow Me Maybe  is a painting of male and female Green Honeycreepers that I observed at the Asa Wright Nature Centre in Trinidad.

Join us September 6th!

Mark your calendar and please join us for a gathering to celebrate the opening of our (Jennifer Cadoff and my) exhibit "Flight/Patterns" on September 6, 5 to 8pm. At Artists' Gallery at 18 Bridge Street in the heart of beautiful Lambertville, NJ. The exhibit opens on September 4 and will run through October 5th.

The above paintings are new and a continuation of a series that I'll be exploring from time.

I am enjoying exploring the patterns in these small works both are 2.25" x 3.5".

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.
