Newsletter 4
April-May 2012
Lee Nixon – Impressionist Artist
Hello and
thank you for stopping by my website to see my Impressionist paintings,
drawings, and floral paintings. I have been painting landscapes and other
subject matter for nearly 48 years. My paintings reflect a reverence for a
serene earth, and the desire to share it with you through color, pattern, and
texture. I work primarily in acrylics for their versatility and compatibility
with other media.
And, I
apologize for being late with the Spring Newsletter. I have been totally
absorbed with teaching the final semester of Fine Arts at the local high school
and creating new landscapes.
New Exhibitions
The thrill
of excitement is in the air! Can you smell its sweet fragrance? Several new
large paintings will not be exhibited during the June 29, exhibition at The UVA
Medical Center due to limited space. So, instead smaller
paintings are being completed for maximum exposure. Several
smaller paintings can be exhibited in place of a large one. Thumbnail images of several paintings for
the UVA exhibit will appear in the next newsletter.
As for now,
new paintings are being exhibited at The Light Well Tavern on 110
East Main Street, Orange Virginia. The exhibit is for the month of May and
June. Several large Impressionist
Landscape paintings are on display depicting the dynamic energy generated by
the surging waters of the Niagara Falls. My family and I were amazed by this
display of awesome power and beauty when we visited upstate New York in 2011. I
was personally amazed by the balance of immense, dynamic energy and power
balanced by the fragile beauty of natural forces and vegetation on our wondrous
home, the earth. I feel that it symbolizes the harmonious balance of life now
and even more so in the near future. The titles of several paintings depict
this theme; Surging Flow of
Immense Power and Beauty (two separate paintings), Dynamic Energy Balanced by
Tender Beauty, and A Pattern Of Earth’s Beauty.
The Arts
Center in Orange is sponsoring this satellite exhibit at The Light Well. One of
the two paintings, Surging Flow of Immense Power and Beauty, is on exhibit
at The Arts Center;
129 East Main Street, P.O. Box 13, Orange Virginia 22960. Email: theartsorange@aol.com
for additional information, Director Laura Thompson.
I have
attached several photos depicting the exhibitions. It is thrilling to transfer
numerous paintings out of the studio to various venues where the public, the
people can enjoy my creations. The June newsletter will highlight the
excitement of the UVA exhibit!
Thanks for
visiting, and please come back soon!
Lee Nixon
