Installation Complete! Come See Us!

"Out in Yonkers" is up in White Plains! Many thanks to my intrepid installation crew, Eileen O'Connor and Catalina O'Connor for their energy, patience and design flair. I have mixed emotions; I am relieved to have finished these paintings and I am so happy that they work well together. I am a little sad to be done having that intimate painterly conversation with them, and my studio feels lonely.

Resolving the portraits over the month of December was a painting challenge. Many thanks to my sister, Mia de Bethune, for some timely advice to let the figures shine. Drapery and color became the resolution, and I have been so gratified to be that emerged in saturated colors.

Please come see the show! Our reception is January 20, 2-5pm at the Art Gallery at the White Plains Library. It is within walking distance from the white Plains Metro-North Station, close to major highways and parkways, and across the street from a White Plains City parking garage. I hope you can make it. The exhibit is up til February 29. I will also have gallery hours approximately  once a week. Stay tuned for the dates and times. I will be giving an Artist's Talk to the White Plains Rotarians on February 13. The public is welcome.
