Yes, the topic is my show at Clark Gallery, mostly in pictures, after all, that's what it is all about. So here is a selection of paintings and drawings from the show.
White Ribbons
Elizabeth Johansson
oil on panel
My first thought was to have the spools with white ribbons against a red ground, but as the painting evolved the simplicity of the composition with a white ground was really what I was seeking, or the painting was seeking.
Rainier Cherries

Sweet Cherries

I loved the stems when I saw the cherries at the farm stand.

Tea Kettle

pencil on paper
I find drawing to be meditative, a quiet and thoughtful state of being.
Chili Peppers
Johansson
charcoal on paper
Ribbons and Marbles
Johansson
pastel on paper
Obviously these spools of ribbons have been a subject that I work with often. It is the architectural shape of the spools along with the colors and textures of the ribbons that I find so alluring.
Clementines
Johansson
oil on canvas
I used a drawing that I did in Rome as a source for the view outside the window. Look closely and you will see that the view of Rome and it's great pines reflected in a mirror.
Metropolis
Johansson
oil on canvas
As I mentioned, this is only a selection of the work in the show at Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA.

Oh, one last image....... a painting that I photographed before it was complete, just so the people hanging the show would have an idea of what it looked like.
I did finish it late in the day prior to the opening. Here is the photo of it in progress. I was in such a rush I forgot to take another when it was completed!!
Festa
Johansson
oil on canvas
Enough of the cold white and gray of winter, I needed to use a lot of color on this canvas.
The show is up until March 29th, 2014
See it if you can.
