New Art at the Wellington Community Center

The Wellington Art Society has displayed its members' artwork at the Wellington Community Center for many years. It used to be at the upper level in that was called the "Card Room." Now we are hanging the art in the hallways of the ground floor. We have much more room to hang more paintings. We are pleased that quite a few of our new members have submitted art for this 3-month show. Here is some of their artwork.

"Wine" is an oil painting by Carl Maxwell. It is 29" x 25 1/2".

 

Art Reception for City Hall Artists

One evening during the four-month Wellington City Hall shows, artists may invite their friends and family to see their artwork. We recently held our reception for the current art, and it was well attended.

Sandra Barbieri's Art Comes to Whole Foods Market

Artist Sandra Barbieri is currently showing her mixed media artwork in the cafe at Whole Foods Market in Wellington. A self-taught artist, Sandra combines painting and rich 3D elements to bring beauty which creates energy. Below is her painting called "Awareness." It is 36" x 36".

City Hall Art Reception March 25

I've been showing you the artwork at our current City Hall display for the past week now. But there's nothing like seeing it in person! We will be hosting a reception in honor of these artists on Tuesday, March 25, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. The reception is open to the public, so please stop by and see the wonderful artwork by these amazing artists. Here are a few more pieces that are on display.

"The Overseer" is an acrylic painting by Betty Brodie. It is 24" x 20", $450.

City Hall Gallery, Continued

As I continue with my virtual tour of the Wellington City Hall gallery, I will present you with some watercolor paintings done by our artists. Our first artist is Donna Donelan. Look at how beautiful the frame looks with her "Autumn Leaves." This is 16" x 12".

More Oil Paintings at City Hall

Our artists create in many mediums, but we have quite a few who paint in oil. I showed you Joanne Baker MacLeod's oil paintings in my last post about the current City Hall show. Here are a few more artists who paint in oil as well. Their artwork is on display on the first and second floors of the Wellington City Hall, through the Spring. The City Hall is located at 12300 W. Forest Hill Blvd., Wellington.

Wonderful Art in Wellington

Stop by the Wellington City Hall to see our latest gallery showing of our members' artwork. This artwork will remain through the Spring. Some of it is on the ground floor, but most is on the second, so be sure to tell the front desk you're going up to see the art.

Virtual Art Show

At any given time, the Wellington Art Society has 50 - 100 artworks hanging in the walls of Wellington city buildings. Many are at the City Hall, and many are in the Community Center. The ground floor of the Community Center is where you'll find these paintings that I'm going to show you today. My photos aren't as great as seeing them in person, so be sure and stop by the Community Center when you can. For now, here's a virtual art show for your viewing pleasure.

"Butterfly."

More City Hall Art

Last week we had a reception for the artists whose work is currently on display at Wellington City Hall. The artwork hangs for four months, and we have a reception about mid-way through. The receptions are open to the public, so it's a great opportunity to see the art and ask questions of the artists.

Here is artist Bobbin Salisbury next to the poster that greets you when you enter City Hall.

Here are a few of the WAS members who attended the reception. In the back row: Candra Conner, Leslie Pfeiffer, Joanne Baker MacLeod, Laura Willems, Nancy Brown, and Ilkin Deniz. Front row: Suzanne Redmond, Corinne Ingerman, and Bobbin Salisbury.

 



The Latest City Hall Show

In my last post, I showed photos of the artwork that was on display at the Wellington City Hall this summer. Now, I'm going to give you a sneak preview of a few pieces that are on display right now. Be sure and stop by City Hall on Tuesday, October 22, 2013 for a reception where you can not only see all the artwork but you can also meet the artists. Here's a few of the art pieces that you will see.

Leslie Pfeiffer uses painterly realism to create oil paintings of landscapes, coastal scenes, and rainforests. She is often inspired by her recent travels. She was born in Chicago, and began creating with sketching, painting, and sculpting with clay. Since moving to Florida she has taken classes and workshops and been mentored by these amazing artists: David McElroy, Caspar McCloud, Nancy Tilles, Laurie Snow Hein, and Nelson Shanks. Leslie continues to explore different mediums and techniques and is currently using encaustic to create vibrant abstract works.

Here is one of her oil paintings that you can see at City Hall, titled "Golden Orchids." It is 16" x 20", and can be purchased for $850.

Wellington City Hall Artwork

We have a new show of paintings at Wellington's City Hall, but in case you missed it, I'm going to show you what was on display over the summer. Every four months, we rotate new artwork by our members. It's on display in the first floor lobby and the hallways of the second floor. We are able to display 20 - 30 pieces, so it is quite a stunning show.

I'll show you each of the pieces quickly, but be sure and click on the artist's name which will link to their website and you can see more fabulous art.

Nancy Brown has been a member of the Wellington Art Society for about a year. She is a wonderful photographer who has traveled extensively throughout China. She can print her photographs on any size canvas. This first one is called "Eye of Giant Buddha."

Summer's Over -- Did You Miss These Shows?

After three months without membership meetings, we kicked off the new season with a lively welcome back to our members at our September Open House. We don't take time off from displaying our members' art, though. We had quite a few wonderful art exhibits this summer, and in case you missed them, I'm going to post some of the artwork here in the next few weeks.

First of all, one of our longest-running exhibits is our display of artwork at the City of Wellington's Community Center. We're all familiar with that space, because that is where we hold our monthly meetings. This artwork is located in the Card Room, and is seen by many groups who use that room as well as the large Grand Cypress Room for their meetings and events.

Art at the Boys and Girls Club

Wellington Art Society member Corinne Ingerman brings our members to the Wellington Boys and Girls Club once a month. We teach the kids art techniques, and let them get a little messy. Here is Corinne with Ursula Fernandez, who came one month to pass on her knowledge and enthusiasm.

 

 

Wellington City Hall -- Part III

Today I show you the last of the paintings that are currently on display at Wellington's City Hall. They will be there through the end of April. Then we will change them out and you can stop by and see a whole new exhibit. The City Hall is open Monday - Thursday, 8:00 - 6:00 p.m.

Leslie Pfeiffer attended the reception for the artists in March. Here she is with her painting called "Orchid Blush." It is painted in oils and is 16" x 20".

Wellington City Hall -- Part II

I am continuing on my tour of the WAS members' artwork on display at the Wellington City Hall. You can see the other post here.

In March we held a reception for the artists. Anyone is welcome, and many artists brought their family and friends. Here we are posing for posterity. Back row: Corinne Ingerman, Ursula Fernandez, Sandra Barbieri, Joanne Baker MacLeod, Laura Willems, Phyllis Silk; Front row: Bobbin Salisbury, Adrianne Hetherington, Suzanne Redmond, Leslie Pfeiffer.

Wellington City Hall Art -- Part I

The Wellington Art Society member show at the Wellington City Hall continues through the end of April. In May, we will switch out this art and present an entirely new show. If you haven't gotten up to the City Hall to see it yet, I'll give you a personal tour here. Stop by this blog tomorrow and the next day to see the rest of the paintings.

Travel Through the Airport and Enjoy Local Art

Palm Beach County's Art in Public Places program manages an art display at Palm Beach International Airport. Anyone in the county can apply to this show,  which changes every few months. Many of our members have entered this show. The artwork is seen by thousands of people each day as they pass through the airport. The reception for this show will be April 10 from 5:30 - 7:30 on Level 2 of the Main Terminal. Here is Kathy Morlock's watercolor painting called "Tropical Rainforest."

Art in Public Places -- City of Wellington

The City of Wellington has been running an Art in Public Places program for quite some time. The artwork changes about every three months. Anyone is welcome to submit their artwork to this program, and the artwork hangs in various public buildings around the City.

The Wellington Art Society hosted a reception for these artists at the beginning of their January meeting. Here are a few of the artists that night. Left to right: Talia Fradkin, Jeannette Pomeroy Parssi, Joanne Baker MacLeod, and Hildegard Donavan.
