Norton's Fine Art & Framing: Friday, 10 May 2013
New acrylic paintings and collages by Glenda Hares, featuring landscapes, still-lifes and florals.
This exhibit and sale starts on Friday, May 10 with a reception from 6pm – 8pm. It continues through Saturday, June 15. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
Hares works in an impressionistic style that is instantly likable – not tooo realistic, not too abstract. There is just enough definition here without confining the viewers€™ imagination and sensual experience of the work. The most outstanding element here is Hares€™ splendid use of color. This is vibrant, yet softly saturated color. Pastels predominate, but they are never sugary, retaining a vivid richness that is actually quite masterful. Acrylic paint often shows as artificial and synthetic. The acrylic paintings in this exhibit, however, resound with a naturalness that is pleasing and surprising.
Hares has a quiet, steady passion for her work—she sees art not as a hobby or a ccareer, but as a natural extension of her existence. "It’s just something that's a part of your life and you do it on a regular basis like brushing your teeth. Whether you feel like it or not, whether you're inspired or not, you just go do it and eventually good things happen," she said. "Or, you hope good things happen, they don't always.”
Regular gallery hours are 10am – 6pm. Tuesday through Saturday.
