On an art-filled weekend, we travelled down to Union, WV to play the Civil War show. A stop off on the way back home in Staunton led us to an artist coop where we found the Manor House painting.
Karen Rosasco taught art for years in an upstate NY high school. She now resides in Staunton, VA.
This work has a glaze treatment by knife first, followed by acrylic. One of Karen’s tricks is to put the very darkest spot in the painting right next to the very lightest part to capture your visual attention. I like how the focal point is enhanced with the oval in the middle of the painting which seems to me like a photographic artifact.
The gallery also had a student space. One student paid attention to shadows with their work, which was very cool indeed.
