So happy that Barbara Gruber will be presenting her incredible work for the ACO community tomorrow, Saturday, September 20th from 10:30-11:30am. She is so talented with a real eye for color. I thought I would include some photos of when we painted together for back in 2013 at a fundraiser for the Childrens Inn at NIH. Look how many brushes she fit in one hand! I mean WOW!
Join us at 10:30!

I've painted/drawn the Carousel Glen Echo so many times over the (almost) 16 years of being at the Stone Tower Studio. I thought I did a better of documenting all the times I have painted it, but apparently this is what I have. A lot of the time it is sold off the easel (and I forget to photograph it), a lot of the time I have to scrape it out (and definitely don't photograph it). I'm not sure that I will get tired of painting it.
It's my haystack.

Bethesda Painting Awards Review in WaPo

"Realism rules in the 20th annual Bethesda Painting Awards, whose finalists’ work is at Gallery B. The selection includes Lou Haney’s heavily patterned domestic scenes, Barbara Epstein Gruber’s handsome traditional landscape and Mary Proenza’s renderings of such autobiographical subjects as her mother’s broken leg. Yet the most striking contributions are by J. Jordan Bruns and Ellen Burchenal, the two artists whose styles are the least literal."

Last night was thrilling. I received the 2nd place award in the Bethesda Painting Awards, hosted by the Bethesda Urban Partnership, Catriona Fraser, and the remarkable Carol Trawick. Mrs. Trawick is a true patron of the arts in the DMV area, generously supporting the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture. Many, many thanks also to Virginia Anderson, Scott Hutchison and Nicole M. Santiago for jurying me into the show. The reception is June 14 from 6-8pm at Gallery B in Bethesda so please mark your calendar!
