Join us for an opening reception 5pm-8pm during First Friday Art Walk Fredericksburg. Refreshments will be served. Linda enjoys painting boldly colored wildflowers in acrylic. She is also developing a new style she refers to as pop art with hard edges. Linda's paintings are noted as dream like with a modern impressionistic twist and most of her pieces come from her imagination. Rick creates with copper and fire and his sculptural pieces have adorned the courtyard at Artisans for over a year. Through torch work, acid burns and various techniques for copper toning, Rick brings tactile beauty pleasing to the eyes to Artisans and gallery guests. In addition, please join us on Saturday, October 2 for a special demonstration by both, 2pm-5pm. This fabulous show depicting bold color on canvas and copper sculpture will be on display and available for purchase through Saturday, October 16.
