Judy Brown’s Work to Be On Exhibit at the Strathmore Artist Members Show!

“Our friend, colleague and resident painting teacher, Judy Brown was accepted to show her stunning watercolor, titled “Peeled Sunshine” in the upcoming juried Strathmore Artist Members Exhibition, which runs from February 27 through April 10, 2010.”

 “Peeled Sunshine” was framed in our shop.  The watercolor pencil drawing on vellum is matted in cream colored linen and is framed in broken gold with red underneath; which magnificently sets off Judy’s depiction of a peeled blood orange.  Congratulations Judy!
