On a beautiful Fall day, the arsenal comes down. One half of the Bitter Liberals came out to plink and shoot some clays. Aubrey was in the house.

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.
Manor House by Karen Rosasco
Karen Rosasco taught art for years in an upstate NY high school. She now resides in Staunton, VA.
Karen explains how the piece was implemented
It always amazes me how artists handle their own work
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.
In context of other work by Karen.
More modern work by Karen
The gallery also had a student space. One student paid attention to shadows with their work, which was very cool indeed.

Winter is here, and various holiday parties spring up, including a somewhat novel round of Krampus events. The walking mall in Winchester, VA is getting into the holiday spirit just as the cold sets in.
We dropped in at the Tin Top Handmade shop just after Krampus had chased everyone out. Oh so tardy.

And what did we spot in front of the Bright Box?

Classical music in the studio today just up the Shenandoah in Front Royal.
Janet Bailey, Gary McGraw, and John Bailey
It is always a joy to be outclassed as a musician! Second violin for me.
Another great day with Will Shenk at National Media Services.
And there was some Bitter Liberals work as well.
