Sold

I started this painting in the spring of this year during a Wine Tasting Walk in the town where I live. It was finally finished in August in preparation for the Fall Architectural Stroll in our town. The painting is currently on exhibit in my gallery until the end of September.  It sold on opening night.

It has been a very busy year and I have worked from deadline to deadline. Sales have been wonderful.

I have been working on a series of paintings for the upcoming Architectural Stroll taking place in Mechanicsburg PA in September.  I started this painting en plein air (on location) during last year's Stroll.  I finally finished the painting this month in my studio. The painting will be available for sale at Brath and Hughes Fine Art as part of the featured "Local Scenes" exhibit.

Dentist on Market

I am working on some local street scenes for a special exhibit at the gallery in September to co-inside with a town wide "architectural stroll". I thought I was done with this painting until I took photos and put it up on my computer screen. Now I see some walls that need "shored up".  Back to the easel I go.

My First Gallery Representation by Mary Beth Brath

11x14" Acrylic Streetscape of the Vancura Gallery in the Summer of 2011

In 2005, I was accepted into my first fine art gallery.  The Vancura Gallery of Fine Art in Middlefield Ohio is owned by Donna Vancura.  My professional art career started with 5 gallery wrapped canvases painted in bold saturated colors.  Donna actually painted my wall royal blue to showcase my work.  I was so excited and inspired.  It is so important to have people in your life that believe in you.  Many years ago I read a book titled "Balcony People".  Donna is a balcony person in my life and the lives of so many other artists.  Thank the people in your life that sit in the balcony and cheer you on to reach your dreams.

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.
