| Description | The Gallery @ Barr Photographics announces the summer installment of the Corner
Gallery’s 2019 exhibition series, with the return of Abingdon, Virginia artist, Thelma Blake. Ms. Blake is exhibiting some of the finest paintings of her career with a collection of watercolor florals and still life works entitled "The Presence of Water”. A portion of "The Presence of Water” is presented as traditional, framed water colors utilizing mats and glass but the vast majority of the thirty seven works are presented utilizing an innovative glazing technique. This technique gives the watercolor media a richer, deeper color presentation, preserving the opaqueness of the media while eliminating the need for mats and glass in the frames. This elimination of framing components allows for a lesser price point making the art more affordable! "The Presence of Water” exhibit is reminiscent of the Georgia O’Keeffe style of florals, with wonderful rich detail and color.
"The Presence of Water” will be celebrated with a reception and demonstration of technique by Thelma Blake, to which the public is cordially invited, on Friday, 14 June from 7 - 9:00 PM in The Gallery @ Barr Photographics, 152 E. Main Street, Abingdon, Virginia. "The Presence of Water” will hang, and be offered for sale, 01 June through 31, July 2019. The Gallery @ Barr Photographics is housed in the Greenway Trigg Building, located in the heart of Abingdon’s main street historic district.
