The Art of Seduction

In celebration of Valentine's Day, February's show at the Artists' Gallery is called The Art of Seduction. This will be a group show of all of the gallery artists and we'll try our best to do justice to the show's title.

A sumptuous chocolate buffet will be provided for the opening reception on Valentine’s Day, Saturday, February 14 from 6:00pm - 9:00pm. For a special treat, we'll have French Truffles and other irresistible chocolates, graciously donated by The Chocolate Box at 39 North Union Street. So come out and join us and indulge a bit.

Artists' Gallery is at 32 Coryell Street, Lambertville, NJ [map & directions]. Gallery hours are every Friday, Saturday and Sunday 11am-6pm (but do try to be there for the reception on Feb 14).

Since I paint landscapes almost exclusively, I had trouble finding something to fit the show's theme, but some people find cars seductive, don't they? I hope so because one of the works I'll be showing is this 1959 MGA Coupe - my only plein air painting of a car:

  1. That would indeed be a tough subject to tackle with the landscape. Love the car though!! My husband has a 1962 MGA convertible that he totally restored when we were in college - it's apple red and cute as a car can be =)

  2. Stacy, fortunately there were enough seductive figures, nudes and still lifes (still lives?) by other gallery members to make up for my landscapes. And an apple red MGA must have been soooooo cool! :)
