Coming Soon by Mary Beth Brath
Acrylic on Canvas
This is a streetscape of Brooklyn in early March. The elderly woman is carrying a box that reads "MB Confections". This is one painting that will tie together my Pennsylvania Landscapes with my Confections Series. The other painting that ties my show together will not be shown online until the night before the opening reception.
Great sunlight and shadows in this painting, Mary Beth! When I first looked at the people (and not any of the text on your post), I thought the taller lady was Julie Riker. Congratulations on your exhibit!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what I have been thinking! I actually painted this from a photo I took when visiting BWAC in March. I think of Julie every time I look at the painting. The shorter elderly woman depicts my Mother. She is with the Lord now, but I like to think she will be with me while showing in NYC so she is holding the item in the painting that promotes my work. I could write a book about the stories behind this show.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful painting Mary Beth! Yes...your Mom will definitely be with you for the show, as she is right now!! I love the shadows and love the vibrant color on the buildings! Well done.
ReplyDeleteHi Hilda - Thanks for the compliments.
