Enjoy the subtle winter skies of Claire Howard’s oil paintings at this free opening reception, meet the artist and explore the work of this Montgomery County Artist.
On display from Wednesday, January 3, 2024, through Sunday, February 18, 2024, "Poetry in the Sky" focuses on winter-themed oil paintings created especially for this show, featuring expansive, luminous views of a season with its own unique tension of shadow and light. Howard's show is the 10th "Artist in the House" exhibition featured in the second floor of the historic house at Locals Farm Market, 19929 Fisher Avenue, Poolesville, Md. Newcomers to Howard’s work will notice that her winter skies have a special texture and depth, an effect she achieves through skilled use of a palette knife. The result is a series of paintings that span the many emotions of winter, a time when restlessness is eased by the promise of coming renewal.
As Riverworks develops exhibitions and programs that encourage locals and visitors alike to cultivate community and connection in rural Montgomery County, Howard’s paintings are reminders that winter resonates with creative possibility. An opening reception will be held at Locals on Sunday, January 14, 2024, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The reception is free and the public is invited to attend.
