Falls Church Arts Show: It's About Me

Sunday in the Outdoor Cafe
watercolor by Jane McElvany Coonce

There is a new show at Falls Church Arts called "It's About Me."  Artists had to submit paintings that reflect something about themselves. I am an observer of people. I'm always looking at people in scenes to see if it might make a good painting.  I take thousands of photographs that don't don't ever get used for a painting.  But I continue to take photos because every once in a while, I hit the jack pot.

This is one that I submitted to the June show. It's not large:  11x14, but I love how it turned out.  I have two others in there, a Key Bridge watercolor and some Oysters on the Half Shell.  Hope you'll stop by and see the show. It's at 700 West Broad St. next to La Famille Cafe and the Kensington.

Yesterday, we hung the new show, "The Light of Venice" at Gallery Underground. It is a blockbuster show!  There are 10 artists in the show and there are 65 paintings!  It's a show not to be missed. 

The reception is this Friday, June 7 from 5 to 7 pm.  We will have special food for this occasion to get you in the mood for being in the light of Venice. Free parking in the garage on 20th St. between Route 1 and Crystal Dr.

I hope you can make it to the reception, but if not, the show will continue from June 3- June 28.  The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 6 pm.  Free parking is provided. Just ask for your parking stub to be validated.
