Fredericksburg has quite a happening arts scene for its size. Quite possibly, the king of the Fredericksburg arts scene is Bill Harris, who makes his artistic home at Libertytown.My favorite painting of Bills is called “Leave It To Memory.” (Click to enlarge)
Bill has also painted a portrait of a woman who I consider to be the best masseuse in the Fredericksburg area, Christina Culley. Unfortunately, she has mostly moved on to the Sperryville area now, and can be found at the Poplar Springs Spa/Resort sometimes, as well as in her private practice. She still returns to Fredericksburg now and then to serve her loyal clients here. This painting is called “Little Wing.” (Click to enlarge)
Bill has also mentored Mirinda Reynolds, who we’ve gotten to know through school activities, and whose work is also quite notable. This is her painting, “The Thousand Natural Shocks,” which was hanging at Libertytown when we went to see Ed Snodderly last month. (Click to enlarge)
Works by these artists can be found at Libertytown in Fredericksburg. Bill Harris also has a website, http://www.wcharris.com, where you can find his works on display and available for sale.
Hi there-
Glad to see you’re enjoying my 21st century version of Sir John Millais’s 1850’s painting of Ophelia from Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
She is currently hanging in The Loft, enjoying some great, smoke-free music and all the whiskey sours she wants……until April’08.
Come see more art by Mirinda in her new studio on The Third Floor above Brush Strokes on Caroline Street in March’08!
