Last night, in addition to being First Friday, was the opening reception for Mirinda Reynolds at her new location at Libertytown Arts Studio. I like going to Libertytown, because I always get to see works from an artist I hadn’t seen before, and works I hadn’t seen by artists I like. Aside from viewing new works from Mirinda (photos coming soon), which is always a pleasure, there were two pieces by Brandon Newton that caught my eye — an oil painting of Rt 3 near Denny’s, but it wasn’t the subject matter that grabbed me, it was the visual properties of the painting. It looked a bit like I was looking through a windshield on a drizzly day. I’m no art critic, but it worked for me. And there was another piece by him, a dark painting of a woman, which was hanging on the wall facing the stairs, so that you’d see it on the way downstairs. I liked that one as well. Rob Landeck had some excellent guitar paintings that we found ourselves wanting to buy for the basement/bar/pool-room. And Bill Harris, well, I just wish I could afford paintings.
Afterwards we wandered through the misters at Kybecca to taste some very interesting Austrian wine, bought a couple of bottles and headed home. It was hot out, or we might have done more.
