It's also going be the last show hosted by Abby Frantz, gallery owner. After 32 years of picture framing and almost twenty nine years of running her shop in Hopewell, Abby has decided it is time to move on. During the run of the show, the Hopewell Frame Shop will change ownership, but the new owners will continue to run it as a frame shop and gallery.
"September at Three Bridges" is one of the paintings I'll have in the show, painted on location in the town of Three Bridges, NJ this past September.
Here's the scene I started with:
And her are the steps in my painting process, ugly stages and all. (There are always ugly stages.) Right from the start, I thought the silo looked better with a rounded top on it:
The finished painting:

Abby has been very supportive of the Artists' Gallery and has hosted shows for many of it's individual members over the years so it's sad to see her go, but we all wish her luck in her future adventures. Please come out to the opening on Saturday, March 15 and give Abby a warm send off!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteWell, that water is really convincing.
I also like the composition and the palette.
Kind regards,

What a wonderful smile this brought to my face--this is my backyard! Yes, literally. I grew up in the house closest to those barns (the one not visible in the picture, and not on the same property as them).
ReplyDeleteYou've done a lovely job of pretty much expressing how I feel about it. It's the most beautiful place in my world. Thanks for seeing that.
Hey Firecat, your comment gave me a big smile too! I'm so glad that you found my post. I've painted the South Branch quite a few times at Three Bridges. It is a beautiful spot.
