Flowers and Candy Photographs, February 2016
February is the perfect month for an exhibit by mother and
daughter artists, Gayle and Elizabeth Wagner. Valentine's Day is celebrated with
flowers and candy, and what better way to enjoy a treat than to see what they have
done with these subjects. Magnificent color. Both artists exude a passion for
color along with an understanding of how to use it.
Elizabeth's
work is true "eye candy" with a sense of humor. Gummy bears with
attitude! Her titles "Sucker Punch," "Mean Girls," and
"Teeth" hint at what is in store when you view these gems. The
formality is not lacking either. "Blue Crush" is an arrangement of
all blue M&Ms, rock candy, jellybeans, and Jolly Ranchers. "Teeth,"
my favorite, is a minimalist row of colorful gumdrops on a field of white.
Gayle's
flower photos are wonderful zooms into nature. She celebrates the color and
shape of blossoms at their most beautiful, in all weather. "Rain, Rain, Go
Away" evokes the freshness of spring with reflective water drops on
petals. Whatever your favorite flower or color, you will find new appreciation here.
"Sunflower Lover" displays the warmth and sunshine of yellows and
oranges with the peak greens of mid summer.
All the photographs in the exhibit are beautifully framed with white frames. They look great scattered throughout the library and in the gallery, but would look even better on the wall in someone's house. The sizes range from 8" x 10" to 20" x 30" and prices are reasonable. If you are looking for something to brighten your décor, grab a few of these before the Wagners become too famous.
