I have a display of 20 paintings, all Alcohol Ink, on the main floor of the library.

Polar bears are losing their habitat due to loss of ice floes.

How often we feel sorry for ourselves when going through tough times, or blaming ourselves for mistakes me done or encountered during the journey through life?
It’s doesn’t matter, living troubled times behind make us stronger, with better sense of self and better appreciation for life.
In my portraits I wanted to show beauty of “today” with scars of “yesterday.”

Eight of Judith's paintings have been accepted into the Perimeter Institute's art collection and installed in various venues within the Perimeter.

Color, more than anything else in painting, is fraught with complexities. The exact nature of color and light is still a mystery. Knowledge of colors is a starting point. Knowing the primaries and secondaries; being familiar with value and intensity; and, composing with color, are the foundations of any well-crafted painting. Additionally, color in relation to Gestalt principles of design will be discussed. Join me, David Curtis, and my friend and fellow painter, Lorwen 'Connie' Nagle, Ph.D., as we explore the fascinating world of color. This course includes Plein air on-site painting homework!
Classes are held at 5 pm on Sundays and Thursdays, in this case, May 13, 16,20, 23, and 27.

You will need the Zoom application to participate. Download for free at https://zoom.us. Tuition for five sessions is $150.00 comprising two PowerPoint modules and three Critique Sessions! To sign up, email lorwenpaintings@gmail.com or davidpcurtis@comcast.net to register. Pay through Paypal or send your tuition check, payable to David P. Curtis, to 30 Riverview Road, Gloucester, MA 01930-1614. Any questions, please contact Connie or me.

The inspiration for My Ladies of Summer series came from looking at old family photos. These two are mother and daughter enjoying a day at the beach circa 1943. They are both wearing sandals with socks. A very cute look!
