A selection of Martin Woodard's work on display in A selection of Martin Woodard's work on display in the current exhibit at Gay Street Gallery in Washington, VA, featuring Martin Woodard, Kristen J. Morsches, and Kevin H. Adams Through October 16, 2024 Gay Street Gallery 337 Gay Street Washington VA 22747 540-227-5100 Wednesday-Monday 10:00 am – 5:00 pm, or by appointment, call 540-522-9688 Martin Woodard draws inspiration from the panorama of the Blue Ridge Mountains as well as intimate details found along old back roads. The Sperryville-based artist’s oil paintings embrace shapes, colors, shadows, and compelling compositions to provide thoughtful interpretations of nature. “My work is inspired by nature but it is really about a philosophy of life,” Woodard has observed. “I hope to express my belief in the beauty of nature, the goodness of man and the importance of self-awareness. It is eliciting emotions such as joy, sadness, loneliness, security, love or dignity that makes a painting sing with life.” Discover the perfect blend of fine art and breathtaking autumn scenery as you explore Rappahannock County's Fall Art Tour.

Thornton River Art is proud to show Kathy Stewart’s plein air paintings, primarily of the American West, expressive still lifes and evocative portraits, in a new exhibition through September 22! Kathy grew up in Texas and after a brief stint in a convent, she went to medical school, specializing in oncology. Upon retirement, she attended an intensive four-year studio art school in Philadelphia. After completion, she moved back to Virginia and built her home near Little Washington. Kathy’s appreciation of the beauty of the human body and her familiarity with anatomy and physiology imbue her portraits with power and authenticity. Her still lifes are remarkable for the interplay of form, light and shadow. Edges are lost and found, forms recede, and her deft use of light creates subtle highlights. Kathy’s expresses her love of the natural world through plein air paintings that distill the environment into magical compositions of light and form. Thornton River Art 37C Main Street Sperryville, VA 22740 Hours: Friday – Sunday, 11:00 am – 5:00 pm See more on this month's blog post at https://fallarttour.org/project/september-2024/ (blog link in profile!)
