Visitors will find more than 20 original paintings, ranging from intimate studies to large scale canvases. Each catches the eye with vibrant colors and expressive brushwork. Many paintings feature the Rappahannock River. Part of the proceeds from those - and from other artists on the same subject - will benefit Friends of the Rappahannock.
OCTOBER EXHIBIT
TO AUTUMN BY STACY GERISE
“I chose an autumn theme because fall is my favorite time of year. I’ve always loved the kaleidoscope of colors. My entire show, with the exception of two paintings, is from the photographs I take on my daily walks along the FXBG Canal Path. I have been walking the path for years and I never tire of its splendor and beauty. My 2023 “Black and White” show also featured paintings of my FXBG walks, so now these familiar views are brought to life in vibrant color!
“My favorite things to paint are trees and landscapes often highlighting shadows and reflections. My acrylic paintings are rooted in my photography. Each canvas offers an interpretation of the images I capture. Included will be fifteen new acrylic paintings, some oldies, and my black & white photography.”
