A Day Of Art And Music At Boettcher House By Ann Mead Ash
When artists congregate, they often like to discuss their creations with each other. This was the case when painter Stephen Gambone and mixed-media artist Carrie Monique Daigle first saw Paris Llanso’s brightly colored painting called “Citrus Splash.” “I love how the buildup of paint is thick and structural,” commented Daigle. “That’s (called) impasto,” added Gambone. The work of Gambone, Daigle, and Llanso will be among the creations of the nearly 50 professional artists who will take part in the Landis Woods Outdoor Fine Art Show that will be held rain or shine on the Boettcher House Museum grounds, 2369 Lititz Pike, Neffsville, on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. An art walk, which will feature the work of local high school artists, will be open from noon until 3 p.m. on the day of the show. Items that artists and craftspeople will bring to sell at
the show will include jewelry, mixed media pieces, abstract art, landscapes, watercolor paintings, ceramics, pottery, and more. The show is billed as a child-friendly and pet-friendly event. Gambone, a self-taught painter who has had a passion for art from an early age, has been painting abstract cityscapes in vivid hues. This year, he also created a surreal scene of brightly colored trees with purple trunks behind a red foreground using the paint in a textural manner. Daigle creates her mixed-media artwork using items as varied as buttons, crumbled pieces of material left in a kiln after it fires, wallpaper, and lace. She sometimes uses a board background or creates on canvas with resin poured over the top. “I get all over the place with my imagery,” said Daigle, displaying a piece that uses wallpaper, a pearl necklace, a heart, flowers, and lace. She said she likes to gather a number of items and pull them together to See Art Show pg 6
