Bill Sharp solo show at Brian Marki, Reception Friday, August 2, 2013


August 2 - August 31, 2013 Bill Sharp: Urban Observations

You are invited to the reception for the artist
 Friday, August 2nd, 5 to 8 PM

I try to pay attention to things that are easily overlooked. In particular, everyday items and places that were designed for utility, that create a scene of accidental beauty that I’m compelled to study once I've slowed down enough to notice.

PS!! ---A special message from Brenda Boylan: 

Thursday evening at the Oregon Society of Artists I will be sharing my photos and giving a small recap on my trip to Plein Air Easton. I was originally scheduled to do a demo but my tripod is en route and can't work without it. I will be giving a small critique for those present at 6:00 and then will present my slide show at 7:00 this Thursday (August 1). I hope to give an insiders view of the challenges and adventures of traveling (and competing) plein air. Perhaps a bit entertaining too! 

All my best, Brenda
