Positively Transparent

"Waylay in the Mango Tree" © Beatrice Bork

I'm working on arranging the paintings I'll be exhibiting in "Positively Transparent: Watercolor Meets Glass" at ArtWorks in Trenton NJ. This should be an exciting show with a talented group of artists. The exhibit will run July 21 – August 25. With an Opening Reception Saturday 4pm – 7pm.

I'm planning on showcasing 9 paintings, among them will be "Bees", which will be back from a tour with the Society of Animal Artists. It's travelled to Michigan, Virginia and Florida, and I'll be happy to display it here in my home state of New Jersey.  I plan on exhibiting paintings that have been inspired from Maine to the Caribbean. (Image: Waylay in the Mango Tree, species: Bananaquit, inspired in Trinidad).

"The Attendant" Watercolor © Beatrice Bork

The Habitat Inhabitants exhibit at Artists' Gallery is now completed. I was quite pleased with our exhibit and the response to the work! Thank you all! Just to remind everyone that I have constant representation of my work at Artists' Gallery.

The Attendant depicts a scene of resting steer and their "attendant" the cattle egret in the foreground. It's a great relationship, as the cattle grazes they stir-up the insects which the egrets happily consume. It's one of the reasons the cattle egret's population is doing so well! This painting was featured on the July 1, 2010 cover of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association.

June 3, 2012... the closing

"Habitat Inhabitants" closes this weekend, and we're capping it off with a "Coffee and Conversation." This will be a more relaxed event with some sweets, coffee, and another chance to meet the artists (Michael Schweigart and me). All are welcome, June 3,  2-5pm at Artists' Gallery, 18 Bridge St., Lambertville, NJ.

Off to a new home...

"Scuffle at the Mill" House Finches © Beatrice Bork

"Scuffle at the Mill" one of the watercolors featured in Habitat Inhabitants "flew" off to its new home last week. It's so nice as an artist to meet and speak with the people who view and purchase the artwork.

The piece was inspired in Stockton, NJ at the Prallsville Mill. I used the angles and colors of the buildings to accentuate the birds and the mood of the piece. The show will be up until June 3 (Sun), and will close with a "Coffee and Conversation" event 2-5pm.  Artists' Gallery is located at 18 Bridge St., Lambertville NJ. Hours: Fri/Sat/Sun, 11am - 6pm.

Up and Running, May 2012

The featured "Habitat Inhabitants" is up, the opening reception is over, and the exhibit is now in its 2nd week. So far it's been a great show! I enjoy seeing how both Michael Schweigart and my paintings "co-exist" in the feature room's space.

The exhibit runs thru June 3rd.
