ABSTRACTION AND LANDSCAPE
“I am exploring the essence of landscape. How little does one have to paint for the viewer to recognize the painting as a landscape? These Paintings range from a more representational rendering through abstraction. My goal is to capture the lushness of visible world with sinuous brush.” Sally Holcomb Blackman – the artist

“The paintings in this exhibition are based on sketches and photographs I took during a painting trip to Paris last year with a group of painters that included my daughter and granddaughter, which was a special joy.
I was completely captivated by the joie de vivre of the people I saw eating, drinking and socializing in the cafés and bistros. To me they epitomized the spirit of this exciting city.
