Juror's Statement: What a wonderful experience it is to juror a show for the FCCA. The caliber of the art was amazing, making for a difficult decision. But it was my job to select less than 50 works from the over 100 entries. I chose work that spoke to me. A few pieces took my breath away. I loved the abundance of color, textures, and mediums in the entries. Some were abstract, some realistic and some were expressionistic and graphic. It was sad to reject some work but I tried to make the best show available for the gallery. Some work was denied because of its merit and a few pieces were rejected due to the poor presentation. If your art is not securely fitted into the frame then it isn’t ready to be displayed. Duck tape is not an acceptable method to secure a canvas into a frame. Please join me at the FCCA on First Friday in December, at 6pm, to see the show, hear my jurors talk and ask questions.
Look for Cheryl’s upcoming class at the FCCA - “Preserve, Protect, and Present: A framer’s guide to the do’s and don’ts of exhibiting your artwork” February 16, from 3 to 5. The class will be held at Frame Designs Gallery.

Taking Note of the Small Event
Works by Nancy Brittle
Growing up on the edge of a small farming community in the Virginia Piedmont during the 1950's, where the wash was hung out on the line to dry, the vegetable garden gave quantities of good produce for canning and preserving, and extended family met at the dining room table three times a day for food, fellowship, and lively debate, I have been given rich memories for inspiration.
The house where I grew up has always been home for me and my family. And, its familiar rooms, its views of garden and lawn, its surrounding fields, continue to give me a sense of continuity, and allow me to examine both memory and the present for inspiration. Family, friends, flowers, and our pets are often tucked into the composition.
Oil is a favorite medium and I prefer the gesture and immediacy found in alla prima work to that of the long studio piece. Painting each week with tje Fredericksburg Plein Air Painters keeps me grounded.
