Rona Lesser: Earth and Sky
- Sat, Nov 2, 2024 - Sat, Nov 30, 2024 9am - 5pm
The Silos at Sawyer Yards1502 Sawyer Street
Earth and Sky is an exhibition of landscape and sky paintings in watercolor, acrylic, and pastel done over several years by Silos artist Rona Lesser. Lesser finds being in nature meditative and inspiring, and works to capture that feeling in her paintings. She often paints out of doors, and other work is done from her own photos. The last few years she has been concentrating on working with watercolor because of the transparency of the media, and the ease of taking it out to plein aire sites, but she also enjoys the feel of creating in acrylic paint. Acrylic paint allows for textures to be built up and brush strokes to emphasize the movement of sky and clouds. Pastel allows for intense color, as the pigments are pure color. Each medium serves its own purpose in allowing Rona to explore the wonder of our natural environment.
Earth and Sky is on view in the Bay 300 Gallery, at the back of the Silos at Sawyer Yards studio building, from November 2 through November 30, 2024. Join the artist for a public reception on Saturday, November 9, from 5-7pm.
