a little obsessed? maybe.
More of the same subject: the Midlothian Coalmines.
If you follow my art page on Facebook you've seen the progression of the first drawing.

You would think those old stones would get tedious to draw, but I've really enjoyed the process. There's so much beauty in old, gnarly, weather-worn objects.

Carter Stuart at North Gallery, Crozet, VA
Four women sat near the front of the theater. The 3-D documentary movie about Egyptian mummies just concluded. The four friends lingered, remarking about the curious red and blue lensed glasses and discussing what was, perhaps, their first experience in a 3-D movie.
Carter Stuart is a storyteller. In the straight lines of a soldier's shoulder, a bit of animated gossip between three Greek cooks, wrinkles that mark wisdom and experience in a face, the old crackled keys of a piano that's past it's prime -- she communicates stories in her paintings, drawings and photographs.
On Wednesday my husband and I drove to King Family Vineyards. It was a gorgeous drive. for the opening of Carter's solo show featuring a selection of her expressive pen & ink drawings, her beautiful tonal paintings & vibrant photographs.
Her pieces will be on display August 1 - September 30 at the King Family Vineyards North Gallery, 6550 Roseland Farm, Crozet, Virginia 22932 . I recommend a visit to enjoy a glass of wine, take in the gorgeous landscapes, and "hear" the stories hung on the wall.
