MAKING PICTURES
Sally Dillon • Oil Paintings
Ruth Rinard • Pastel Paintings
A beautiful show by two local favorites. Ruth: “Making Pictures looks at the path from inspiration to final image. Using the tools of observation, writing, and repetition this exhibit suggests how as an artist I delve into the moods and emotions of a scene, how I discover the soul of a place.” Sally: After many years as a fiber artist I have returned to oil painting, as well as continuing a life-long practice of watercolor painting and drawing." Sally's sketchbooks and art books also reflect a sense of observation as the key to final work.
