FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: SYLVIA SNOWDEN – ART EXHIBITION
September 18, 2007
For the third year Parish Gallery will present an exhibition by Sylvia Snowden entitled “Flowers”. This exhibition will open with a reception from 6:00 – 8:00 pm on Friday, September 21, 2007 and will run through October 16, 2007 at the Parish Gallery [located in Washington, DC (Georgetown area) at 1054 31st St., NW WASHINGTON, D.C. 20007].
Come and embrace and be embraced by eighty-four lush renditions of flowers. Through the use of color the seasons – spring, summer, autumn, and winter are symbolized. The elements of brushwork and color present a pulsating rhythm that one associates with life and growth. The painter renders the floral subject matter which reminds one of bas relief sculpture. The application of paint caresses the surface which offers a feast for the eye and uplifts of the spirit.
