Faith Stewart-Gordon's paintings inspired by the Sannio region of Italy  will be exhibited at Polo Culturale Gastronomico in Piazza Umberto I, Montesarchio (BN), Italy. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 7:30 pm, at which Stewart-Gordon will give a presentation.

The paintings capture the colorful landscape and architecture of the region, and little details that make it unique.

I encourage you to read Savour the Sannio's blog post about the show which gives the background and flavor of the exhibition. Stewart-Gordon was the proprietor of the Russian Tea Room in New York City for many years.

Client Muci Clemens is exhibiting oils and pastels in a solo show called "Reflections of Light" at Artists Guild Gallery, Vero Beach, Florida. The gallery is at 1974 14th Ave., Vero Beach, FL. There is an artists reception Friday, March 5th, from 5-7 pm.

Clemens works in still life, landscape and portraiture, and says of her own choice in subject and mood, "There is much pain in the world, so to choose to focus on the positive - on light, color and uplifting themes - is a conscious choice."

I wish her good luck and hope she'll report back from Florida with some pictures of the gallery.
