Sarah Hartshorne, Quiet Beauty
Sarah Hartshorne’s paintings in the Matrix gallery bring the
beauty of nature indoors. Surrounded by her crisp oil paintings of serene water
lilies, sunflowers and wooded trails, viewers forget that they are indoors.
The
large scale of her work and vividness of her imagery caused viewers to pour
over the paintings, looking for brushstrokes, trying to figure out just how she
does it. Her work explores the play of light and shadow, and brings
her subjects alive with color. Viewers enjoyed talking with Hartshorne about
her painting techniques, her use of color, and the imagery that she works from.
Thank you to all the volunteers, to those who came to the show, and to Jeff Simpson, photographer.
