2nd Friday Art Walk
Colonial Beach Artists’ Guild presents:
It’s been a hot and humid July with promises of more for August,
but the artists have been busy creating new works for all to see.
We have a special artist showing this month at the Griffin Gallery, Larry Southworth from Fredericksburg,
who will have more than 20 oil paintings on display, most of which have been inspired
by the water views around the Colonial Beach area.
Mr. Southworth will also be exhibiting the painting that has recently been used as a CD cover
for the Fredericksburg Grammy Award Winner, John Starling.
We also have another visiting artist Ms. Patricia Spitaleri from the Eastern Shore.
As a former gallery owner herself, she will be exhibiting Maryland and Florida landscapes
and abstracts at the Jarrett Thor Gallery.
Plus there will be two exciting artists exhibit at Tides Inn, Mr. Gary Duquette and Deborah Booth
featuring art of Japanese fish print making…Gyotaku along with their botanicals.
Well worth seeing how two artists merging together can really compliment each other.
We also have a new business member this month,
The Happy Clam on Monroe Bay, who will be featuring Cheryl Crane
who does some fantastic driftwood sculptures, photography and acrylic paintings.
This month promises to be an unusual and interesting Art Walk, so be sure to stop by
and see all the new and different things we have come up with.
There will be maps and brochures available so you will not get lost
and of course admission is free and refreshments are often served.
Come and meet our artists!
