It's been a while since I shared my newest work. Lots to tell...<br />
<br />
I had a solo exhibit at Athan's Gallery Cafe. It was called 'Till Next Bloom' and was curated by Unbound Visual Arts. The reception was in September and was a great success. Here are some watercolor paintings from the exhibit: The first is Cyclamen. The second is Orchid Gals<br />

The most exciting news is my new work on YUPO. It's very challenging and fun to work on. A smooth, plastic finish on which watercolors love to collect wherever they want to!! So I use a whole new skill set to make the painting work: Meet 'White Rhodie' , 'Early Evening Kousa' and 'Early Spring ll'.</div>

<br />
Welcome to Spring. It has finally arrived. Even though it wavered a bit with April snow...<br />
<br />
My watercolor below is called 'Private Conversation' (notice the two tulips on the right in conversation, gossiping). I guess the painting is my way for wishing for 'real' tulips to bloom. The conversation going on between these two tulips was, of course, an accident - like so many other wonderful 'accidents' that happen with watercolors.<br />

My new solo exhibit, <span style="color: #6aa84f;">'Nature's Portraits'</span>, is opening Saturday April 26 at<br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">The Marblehead Arts Association</span>. It will run until June 8. <span style="color: #e69138;"><b>The Reception is Sunday April 27 from 2-4. </b> </span><span style="color: #ffd966;">Please join me in Marblehead.</span><br />

<br />
There are 5 other artists at the MAA, each with a solo show. Each of us has his/her own gallery. I will probably have about 14 pieces in my show. Watercolors and pastels. I spent a lot of time making sure that the framing really was right for each painting. Hope I succeeded. Come to the reception and let me know!<br />
<br />
The MAA is housed in a beautiful old mansion which has many rooms. Each room with it's fireplace has been transformed into an art gallery. What an interesting and historic venue for an art exhibit!<br />
<br />
Visit and say hello on the 27th - take a beautiful drive to the historic area of Marblehead, have some delicious food, enjoy quality art from several artists.<br />

There is a revolving show in Mayor Setti Warren's office in Newton City Hall. I'm proud to be one of the artists. When you're in Newton just stop by and view the show! There is always art on the walls because Mayor Warren is a great supporter of Newton artists. I understand that he loves us having our art gracing his office walls and adjacent hallway.<br />
<br />
This exhibit presents new work of the artists. I did this Magnolia painting in summer 2013 from photographs I took of magnolia trees. Where? In the parking lot of my dentist's office. I saw a gorgeous magnolia in bloom and knew I had to paint it.<br />

<br />
I wanted to thank anyone who reads my blog, especially if you visited me during Newton Open Studios exhibit this past weekend. This show was juried so I was really excited to have the opportunity to exhibit and sell my work.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I think Newton Open Studios' new venue, Newton City Hall, was very successful. I had a good show and enjoyed many good art conversations with folks who were fascinated by the way I paint 'backgrounds'. Several people asked if I taught watercolor classes. I don't right now, but you all will be the first to know (well, maybe not the first) if and when I do!<br />
<br />

<br />
Here's the watercolor I currently have in Mayor Setti Warren's office in Newton City Hall. The exhibit there now is called 'Movement'. If you have a chance, stop by City Hall in Newton on Commonwealth Avenue and Homer Street and pop into the Mayor's office. Second floor.<br />
<br />
It's been a pleasure to have exhibited there throughout this whole year. Each exhibit has a different theme. It's interesting to see how each Newton artist interprets the theme.<br />
<br />
Till the next exhibit...stay tuned!<br />

<br />
And welcome to fall! At least in the mornings and evenings. It's 6 PM now as I write this and the temperature today was warm and balmy. But right now it's very fall-like. OK - enough of the weather report.<br />
<br />
I have a great show up at the Putterham Grille restaurant. I have mentioned this before, but this time the show is up! It's an exhibit of my watercolor and pastel giclee prints - signed, limited editions. Looks great!<br />

<br />
I wanted to invite you to the <i>Artist Opening Reception</i> for my watercolor exhibit at the Marblehead Arts Association. I have 6 original watercolors on the Meet The Artist Wall. The Reception is at The Marblehead Arts Association, 8 Hooper Street, Marblehead (Tel: (781) 631 2608) on <i>Sunday September 8 from 2-4 PM</i>. Google the directions which are easy - the trip is essentially driving up 1A N.<br />
<br />
I used beautiful handmade paper, a white mat and cherry frame for Orchid Sculpture, below. This orchid 'called' me to paint it because the leaves are so sculptural.<br />
<br />
There are 4 other artists showing their work as well. There will be refreshments served.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you on the 8th.<br />
<br />
Best, Anita<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm so proud of this pastel painting, I wanted to share!! It's hanging in my home in Newton, MA - it's available as a giclee print <i>only</i> because I want to keep the original. But the giclee is printed beautifully. It looks like velvet!<br />
<br />
I was going to submit it to the next Concord Art Association's juried show, but will have to choose another watercolor or pastel!<br />

It's called "Stay Cool" and it's in Boston City Hall in Mayor Setti Warren's office and through the halls of the area near his office. Here's one of my watercolor paintings in the show. There are many interesting works by several artists.<br />

<br />
The next exhibit at Arts League of Lowell is "Liquid Scapes" and will start on August 30 and go till September 29. The address is 307 Market Street, Lowell. The show promises to be an interesting one, with many interpretations of water.<br />
<br />
My two paintings in the show are very different from each other. One is a very 'dreamy' painting called Fog:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the other is a dramatic painting of the moon with Venus over the ocean:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I painted both while looking at the water at very different times and places. Fog was painted in New England and Moon with Venus (and it IS the moon with Venus) was painted during the night while I was vacationing in Captiva, Florida. Both from very real life!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If there's a reception for this show, I will let you know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Meanwhile, take advantage of the many "water sources" or beaches we have around the Boston New England area while summer lasts!</div>

It's currently exhibited with <u>Vintage Tea </u> (pastel) in the Arts League of Lowell,<br />
307 Market Street, Lowell MA. I have several paintings, giclee prints and cards in this art coop.<br />
<br />
The building, which houses this gallery/coop, is one of many interesting old beautiful brick mill buildings in Lowell.<br />

In the 1800's Lowell MA was a center for the textile industry, and now many art galleries and studios are in residence in these interesting, large windowed, light buildings.<br />
<br />
The exhibit there now is a fabulous juried show called "The Fabrication of Imagination" and is a must see! The <u>Reception is Friday, August 9, from 4-6</u>. Here is one piece among many diverse works designed with fabric. You won't be disappointed going to the gallery!<br />

My watercolor Golden Blooms is looking for a new home. Currently it resides in the <u>Arsenal Center for the Arts Members' Show,</u> 321 Arsenal Street in Watertown.<br />
<br />
Come to the show, and look for Golden blooms - it'll be among all the other great art at this show. Maybe it'll be just the Springtime you need all year round! The show will be up until August 23.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, have a 'cool' summer.<br />

<br />
Enjoying our 'real' summer? A little hot, but me? I'd rather that and sunshine than winter. No flowers in my garden in the winter.<br />
<br />
I'm still showing at UFORGE Gallery in Jamaica Plain - until July 14.<br />
<br />
I have two Giclees - archival signed prints - in UFORGE's <i>new</i> show called 'Potluck'. All about food, kitchen, eating. Who doesn't like eating!<br />

<br />
The Marblehead Arts Association is located in a beautiful old mansion in the center of town - 8 Hooper Street.<br />
<br />
Right now there's a members' show throughout the mansion which is made up of many different galleries - each in a different space in the mansion.<br />
<br />
I received a judges award for my original watercolor Lace Cap Hydrangea. There were only three judges awards given out! The show will be on exhibit until July 14.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8B64jtkLMOcnEMjX2o8xM3TmlNUDrzwNe5sfnOoQtPqh0yuSC7oBqq13fMJD0eKpMpSDwDBq6lBgWSzu81kq6Y8iQHn6hs4mLwq8FX3VkS0JfOiKP_dHhuB33hh1SLuiy8It_YYHYj0A/s1600/Lace+Cap+Hydrangea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="367" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8B64jtkLMOcnEMjX2o8xM3TmlNUDrzwNe5sfnOoQtPqh0yuSC7oBqq13fMJD0eKpMpSDwDBq6lBgWSzu81kq6Y8iQHn6hs4mLwq8FX3VkS0JfOiKP_dHhuB33hh1SLuiy8It_YYHYj0A/s400/Lace+Cap+Hydrangea.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
Marblehead, especially in the summer, is a beautiful town to visit. Check out the show - a lot of wonderful pieces on exhibit. And walk around the cobbled streets of the town. Look at the architecture - the old, wonderful houses. Have lunch! Have fun!<br />
<br />
By the way, I have made signed, archival, limited edition giclee prints of many of my original watercolors, including Lace Cape Hydrangea. If you're interested in any particular painting or giclee, just go to the contact page and write me.<br />
<br />
Hope you're enjoying the sun, your gardens, and this wonderful season.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I wanted to thank everyone who came to my reception at UFORGE Gallery on Friday evening the 14th June. It was a fun event and fun to see everyone.<br />
<br />
My show will be up at the "Revolver" walls in the back of the gallery until July 14 - so if you didn't catch it at the reception, take a ride to JP, 767 Centre Street, in the center of town. <br />
<br />
Check out their website - there's a blog on it about me and my show called "Nature's Portraits". Here's a sample painting...<br />
<br />

called Picasso Calla Lilies, painted on handmade paper.<br />
Actually all of my watercolors in the show are painted on handmade paper.<br />
<br />
Since you're already on my site, take a look at my Artist Statement - my feelings about Nature and why I paint flowers!!<br />
<br />
Have a flower - filled summer of beauty and color.<br />

For those of you who wonder about that name, it is the real name of a real Calla. It's purple on the inside and creamy on the rim. Just gorgeous. Coming soon to my site in your neighborhood...<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
I hope we can say - this is end to snow - just a few teeny patches on the North side of my Street. My daffodils and tulips are trying mightily to emerge...<br />
<br />
I have been busy - good busy - with plans to show my watercolors and pastels.<br />
<br />
FIRST: <u>Newton Open Studios </u>is early this Spring - THIS WEEKEND April 6,7 Saturday and Sunday from 11-5. As well as a great extention to Open Studios on Friday evening April 5 from 6-8 (along with two new show openings at the New Art Center).<br />

<br />
You can catch me painting at Open Studios this year - my venue is The New Art Center 61 Washington Park in Newtonville - #30 in the NOS Guide. Pick one up at a local Newton store or go to NewtonOpenStudios.org. My watercolors, pastels, Giclees, cards all will be there. I have done a lot of new work -some from my trip to Hawaii: Orchids, Bird of Paradise, Oriental lilies (from before my trip) - and in process, Yellow Hibiscus.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In addition, the <u>Reception </u>for the<i> Newton</i> Mayor's Show is Tues April 9 from 5-6. I have a watercolor in that show. All are invited.<br />
<br />
The <u>Reception</u> for the <i>Boston</i> Mayor's Show is April 11 from 5-6 also. I have three paintings in that show. Really exciting. Both times the Mayors will be in attendance. They are both so supportive of local artists!<br />
<br />
I will have space in a Gallery opening in Lowell - <u>The Arts League of Lowell </u>has moved and the new space (307 Market Street) is almost ready, I'll have work there continually on a revolving basis. I'll keep you posted on dates for that.<br />
<br />
I'll also have several Giclees in Putterham Grille starting on June 1. That's a fun restaurant in Chestnut Hill on W Roxbury Parkway. I'll let you know when the Reception for that is.<br />
<br />
There will be more news, but if you come to any of these events - or all- I'd love it.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the first scents of Spring and see flowers on paper in Newton this weekend!! Goodies there at the New Art Center too.<br />
<br />
See you there. AnitaAnita Helen Cohen Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15634553644447460675noreply@blogger.com0
