SARAH CRUMLICH: LIFESCAPES

SARAH CRUMLICH: LIFESCAPES

March 22 – April 28, 2012

Momentary Expression: Gertrude, 2011

Oil on panel, 7 x7 in.

"All Things Project is pleased to present SARAH CRUMLICH: LIFESCAPES, paintings by the artist intently examining portrait and landscape traditions. However familiar shared natural vistas may be, certain human and topographical features are rarely discussed at length– even more seldom, carefully gazed upon." (http://allthingsproject.wordpress.com/)

See more about this exhibit at All things project at NCGV

and the press release at http://allthingsproject.wordpress.com/

Opening Night was a great exchange of ideas and thoughts on the work with many great friends. Many thanks to all who came and made this show a time of not just showing, but of sharing our thoughts

and perspective on aging.

Thank you to Mike who brought his wonderful coffee from Joe's!!! It was heavenly!

What a great night!

January Plein Air Painting

I had a blast freezing in the January cold and also managed a few sketches of the mid-winter marsh.

Lifescape 5, Painting process

Here you can see the progression from the dark warm ground with light highlights to
a fully completed painting with color!

Lifescapes

This recent body of work enters into a dialogue about aging and the body in an effort to explore the beauty and variability of expression we exhibit as we add years to our life. I appreciate any thoughts or comments you may have to share on this work.
