Rose Bryant Original Painting "Girls on the Beach"

I just love the things summer brings. Neighbor gatherings in the backyard, outdoor concerts, dining with friends at sidewalk cafes. This group of gulls made such a nice visual... friends (perhaps) just hanging out. The painting is an 18x36 acrylic on canvas. It is one of 20 works in my solo show at The Works Bakery Cafe starting this Friday. The Works is a hopping place right in the heart of Market Square in the charming seacoast town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. My show will be there August through October. Drop in for some color and a morsel on one of your summer outings.
Thank you for looking at my color... do pass it along to a friend!

Rose Bryant Original Painting at Families First Exhibit

Each year Families First invites local artists to submit original works to an exhibit which becomes the source for images used in their annual "Artists of the Seacoast" calendar. Over 100 pieces of art are entered. Thirteen are chosen (one of which is for the cover). The sales generated from the calendars help provide affordable healthcare, dental care, education, and other programs for those in need in the Seacoast.
I have entered the event for the first time and am looking forward to a flurry of fun, as well as seeing what the other artists are exhibiting. My painting for this exhibit is a 24x24 acrylic on canvas titled "North Church in Spring". A reception honoring all the artists is Tuesday, April 28 at 5:30 at the Discover Portsmouth Center. The 13 works to be used for the 2010 calendar will be announced that evening and the exhibit will be up through May 25. Be sure and keep an eye out in the fall for the 2010 calendar and help support a good cause!

Rose Bryant "Running Dreams" Sold at PHLY

SOLD
"Running Dreams", pictured, is a larger 18x36 version of an earlier small 6x6 inch painting called "Wild Horses". I painted this imagery again because I loved the color and the free loose brush strokes of the original smaller piece and wanted to work it into a larger format. As an artist, I am always exploring what feels good to me for a "style"... and this direction is calling me. "Running Dreams" was on the walls at PHLY and has now found its way to a happy home. Thank you Deb and Mika at PHLY.
My exhibit runs through April and includes over 60 paintings. Stop in and check out the modern furniture and accessories, as well. It is all a visual treat.
PHLY is at 222 State St. in Portsmouth and is open Wednesday-Sunday.
Have a glorious sunny day! Thanks for looking.
