|
Ken Moylan,
Minnehaha Creek, 2003, mixed media on masonite, 47 x 42 inches
|
Ken
Moylan's signature window in mahogany veneer opens onto a waterscape in
his Minnesota backyard of Minnehaha Creek. This creek, which means laughing
water in Sioux, empties into the Mississippi River. Painted in oil, the
creek reflects lush weeping willow trees--a romantic vista which emits an
aura of the early American landscape painters.

Scott Prior,
Floodplain in Spring, 2003, oil on linen, 18 x 30 inches
|
Scott Prior,
Lake at Twilight, 2003, oil on linen, 38 x 86 inches
|
Scott
Prior's Floodplain in Spring is of a flooded bog near the artist's home.
A curtain of trees, foreground and back in powerful vertical parade, anchors
the mists rising off the waters. Spring approaches in the early budding
of leaves on trees; the painting glows in its umber and golden palette.

Joseph Raffael,
Casey Pond, 2002, watercolor on paper, 62 x 42 inches |
| Joseph
Raffael's Eternal Pond of green, blue and tan water shimmers with golden
light as the water of his own carp pond swirls with rings and bubbles on
the surface. Reed leaves and grasses line the bottom edge of the pond filled
with swimming koi, and the school of red fish gives the pond a Chinese flair
in the midst of life's eternal flow. |
Joseph Raffael, Eternal Pond, 2003 watercolor on paper, 45 x 62 inches

Gregory Halili,
Summer Tears, 2003,
watercolor on paper, 7 x 5 inches
|
Gregory
Halili's watercolor in miniature scale, Summer Tears, is of Central Park's
Bethesda Fountain and its flowing waters, a heartbeat spot in the Park,
which is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. While painted for
this show, it is imbued with nostalgia in its sepia tones.

Carolyn Brady,
Peonies and Lilies: Brunette, 2002, watercolor on paper, 38 x 51 inches
|
Carolyn Brady, Peonies and Lilies: Blonde, 2002, watercolor on paper, 38
x 51 inches
|
Carolyn
Brady's recent watercolor Peonies and Lilies: Blonde features water in still
life, filling vases with heady monumental bouquets, and pitchers incised
with patterns. Water is a vehicle for shimmering light, color and reflection.

Don Eddy, Aqueous
Lumina II, 2002, acrylic on canvas, 50 x 34 inches |
Don Eddy, The
Hesychia Tide, 2002, acrylic on canvas, 50 x 34 inches |
Don
Eddy's recent painting Hesychia Tide is a pure, tranquil spot at water's
edge. Nothing stirs but the water rippling gently in the tide, a quintes-sential
moment of peace. Blue waters reveal leaves below and mosses grow on rocks,
remind-ing one of the proximity of the shore, in this pure waterscape.
|
Michael Gregory,
Alluve, 1998, oil on panel, 21 x 52 inches
|
Michael
Gregory's Alluve joins water and sky in a long horizontal oil on panel.
Fingers of a bay reveal sparkling lights of what appears to be a city in
the distance, separating the blue of the waters from the blue of the sky,
with clouds parting, opening to a ray of light.
