May 6 2008 Demo Artist
Judith Crowe
Judith Crowe’s style is representational and focuses primarily on landscapes, although she sometimes includes figures. Her paintings are consistently described as tranquil, peaceful or serene. She portrays the landscape with a focus on composition, shape, light and shadow while experimenting with interesting color combinations. "I paint both en plein air and in the studio, often beginning outdoors and then finishing inside with the aid of photographs".
Join us on Tuesday, May 6, 2008 when the WVAG welcomes Judith Crowe for a highly informative Dinner/Demo Meeting. For more details, please go to DEMOS.
