Current Exhibit
COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG: People and Places
March 6 - 31
Original Paintings by Cate Kauffman and Bob Carlson
Opening Reception Friday
March 6th, 5 to 7 pm
Kauffman’s work for this exhibit began over a year ago when she began studying and drawing the costumed interpreters at Colonial Williamsburg. Well known in Gloucester and Kilmarnock for her renderings of birds and woodland creatures, as well as emotional landscapes, Kauffman has now tackled portraiture and figure painting. The figures in this exhibit include a bookbinder, leatherworkers, a cook, and tourists interacting with the historical characters – plus many more.
Carlson’s architectural paintings of colonial buildings and gardens provide the perfect complement and balance to this show. He has painted scenes around Colonial Williamsburg for many years, working both en plein air and in his studio. This exhibit will include all new pieces from Carlson and promises to satisfy enthusiasts who have followed him during his career as well as patrons new to his work.
