Terry’s been working in watercolor and calligraphy again after a foray into oils and acrylic. She is not giving up on the oils, just following some inclinations to get back to some detail work. Shows: Current solo show at New Dominion Bookshop running through September! Terry also has three entries in the Teeny Trifecta Two exhibit at 2nd Street Gallery, also through September.

Post #1: Painting Process Hello! I'm thrilled to be a recent Bozart member and look forward to sharing more about my work this month here on Facebook! For my first post in this series, I want to share more about my painting process. I love working in layers - applying a textured ground, drawing an image, then adding and subtracting color to create a sense of atmosphere around the subject I am painting. My time as an educator for Golden Paints has increased my interest in exploring what acrylic mediums/gels/pastes could do to build a unique foundation for painting, so most of my work (whether it is oil, acrylic, or watercolor) is done on top of a textured acrylic ground. This post includes a series of photos that document steps of my process painting "I'll Meet You at the Summit". Joan Dreicer's artwork continues to be displayed at Random Row Brewery. She works in oils or pastels and creates landscapes, florals and pet portraits. Check out more of her paintings: https://joandreicerartwork.com Random Row Brewery is located at 608 Preston Ave, Charlottesville, VA 22903. Hours: M-F 4:30-11; Sat 12-11; Sun 12-9.  Judith Ely works in acrylics. The art shown is entitled "The Awakening" Her art will be displayed at Vitae Distillery during the month of August. The setting is perfect to enjoy a cocktail & her art. Vitae is located at 715 Henry Ave, Charlottesville, 22903. Hours: W-F 2-9 pm; Sat 10-9 pm; Sun 12-6 pm  Betty Brubach"Above is one of my most recent works in which Jim Cato and I collaborated. Jim created the background of red and dark blue stripes laid out with tape as a stencil and I painted a somewhat abstract scene of a path, lighter blue rooftops and windows on top of his underlying painting. We call this painting "The Path." It is my first abstract, and I enjoyed the experience, finding it relaxing as it was less detail oriented than realistic paintings to which I am more accustomed. Our collaboration is exciting and interesting to me. He uses acrylic paint and so I do too because he may paint a bit after I do and you shouldn't put acrylic on top of oil paint, which I typically used. I believe trying new ways of creating art keeps me fresh and interested in the craft.", stated Betty Brubach.   Amy's paintings reflect her love of nature and incorporates wildlife, flora, landscapes, and textures. She works in oil, acrylic, and watercolor with a recent focus on watercolor, over textured acrylic grounds. Amy teaches workshops from her studio in Troy and gives presentations on painting throughout the mid/south Atlantic region as a Working Artist for Golden Paints and Artist Lecturer for Williamsburg Oils. Amy's painting "Take a walk with me" featuring two White Ibises will be on display at the McGuffey Art Center as part of the annual show for the Central Virginia Watercolor Guild, opening on Friday Sept 6.
