Carlton Gallery opens 29th Mid-Summer Exhibition
Carlton Gallery begins its 29th Mid-Summer Exhibition with an
opening reception on Sunday, July 24, from 2 to 5 p.m.
All are invited for an afternoon of
viewing fine art in all mediums, while enjoying community spirit and hors d'oeuvres. Many of the
gallery artists plan to attend to greet visitors and art patrons.
The 29th Mid-Summer Exhibition
coincides with the Avery Tour de Art on Saturday, July 23, featuring a retrospective exhibit of the
art of Warren Dennis, called "Then and Now," a collection of his work spanning many years, which
runs through Aug. 23. An artist's reception on Saturday, July 23, from 2 to 4 p.m., affords
one an opportunity to meet Dennis.
New paintings fill the gallery with varied subject
matter, styles and color, including Charlotte Foust's non-objective abstracts, Kate Worm's
watercolor/gouache female figures and Andrew Braitman's uniquely textured landscapes.
Vae
Hamilton's spirited horse paintings, Egi Antonaccio's contemporary landscapes of mountain scenes,
nature's splendor rendered on canvas by Roy Nichols and Jossie Fox Nichols, vibrant, colorful
acrylics with simplified figures by Marion Cloaninger, along with Helen Farson's paintings rendered
with a European flair are a few of the paintings on exhibit for the 29th Mid-Summer
Exhibition.
The gallery's collection of blown, cast and assembled glass sculptures by
John Littleton and Kate Vogel, Greg Fidler and Fred Mead bring an added aspect to the
three-dimensional art in wood and clay on exhibit for the exhibition.
