MARILYN ORNER: "THE SKY, THE LAND, THE WATER
APRIL 5 - APRIL 28, 2024
OPENING RECEPTION: SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 2-6 PM
Painter Marilyn Orner has focused on landscapes for years, especially enjoying painting water. The movement, light, depth, and reflections have all been sources of inspiration. Some of her work eliminates almost all the surrounding landscape, giving just hints to the water’s setting. Recently she began to be equally intrigued by the ever changing sky as an entity similar to the water, and many of her new paintings have given the clouds and the changing sky colors top billing. To balance the sweeping vistas, she has made some works that focus on details or single object. Not trying to record an encounter with photographic verisimilitude, she has instead shared the moment, and what she saw and felt.
