“Summer in the Mountains” by Andrew Braitman.

Braitman’s paintings project his brilliant color combinatons and compositions which make his work very powerful and dramatic. He renders his abstracted landscapes in contrasting colors with thick paints, a variety of textures and conceptual shapes with subtle details to catch one’s eye. Braitman paints Mother Nature’s beauty along with a composed balance of elements to bring life and signature to his work.

Braitman’s “Edge of Brilliance by Evolution” exhibition consists of over twenty-five paintings ranging in size from 10″x8″ to 66″x33″. In his “Trout Pool” landscape painting, one can imagine the trout swimming in the tranquil waters rendered in greens and blues with a stroke of mauve and pink. Likewise, his “Cinnamon Fern Falls” and Rhododendron Falls” 66″x33″ paintings project waterfalls, rocks and boulders that are so characteristic of the High Country which are painted in Braitman’s masterful color palette.

“Spring Passage” by Edigio Antonaccio.

This exhibition features new paintings in various styles by Edigio Antonaccio, Kate Worm, Linda Apriletti, Allison Chambers, Connie Winters and Mike Ham. Their new work consists of subject matter from tranquil landscapes, lovely still life interiors, engaging figurative to Native American motifs.

“Winter Afternoon” by Kate Worm.

Local artist Egidio Antonaccio plans a landscape painting demonstration from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. He is an exceptionally talented fine art painter whose impressionistic landscapes show his love of nautre with vast panoramic hillside views, paths filled with flowering shrubs, woodland waterfalls with native rhododendron and dogwood, pastoral farm scenes to an ingenious rendered Grandfather Mountain.
