Dear Winslow,
You are correct. I’m pretty sure we should deliver this now.
Thank you.

My band the Bitter Liberals just played a house concert in a barn decorated with original paintings by Winslow McCagg. In true cross pollination, the show was put on by the proprietors of the Duvall Gallery where Winslow is showing. Living in a county where artists support each other like this is a joy.
Artwork by Winslow McCagg (this one titled Stone Age) defined the stage
The stage is set for the Bitter Liberals

Sunday afternoon started out idyllic enough. The setting for the Dairy Barn Gallery outside of Middleburg is about as pretty as Virginia gets.
A collection of great artists and good friends, including: Maureen Limon, Winslow McCagg, Anna Billman and Richard Lew (with six others) brought the space to life.

But then things took a turn for the macabre. First there was the prayer wheel made by the robot overlords and thrust back in time.
And then there was the bedroom/bathroom pair of spigots (credit to Charley Billman for the perfect naming scheme). Look left. Look right. Giggle.

But in the end we were threatened by the horseradish root and beat a hasty retreat.

Tia Maggio and Winslow McCagg are at it again with a beautiful new art show at Blandy Experimental Farm (part of the University of Virginia) near Millwood. Nothing like excellent bone fide local artists to make a community thrive!
The show, called “Reunion,” runs through February 28th. Go see it.
When you go, you can take a gander at the pieces we are adding to our collection. They have red dots. One is called Zane Grey; the other, Mutiny on the Bounty. This time we focused on Winslow’s work since we already have a couple of pieces by Tia. The show is a great pairing, however, with equally good work from both artists. We still think Winslow and Tia make a great pair.

The space in the Board room at Blandy is a bit crowded when filled with 30-40 people and the mega conference table, so getting pictures was a challenge. Nice to see the place hum though.

Finally some Winslow is coming home to roost. Here is what the new pieces look like.

We attended the Rendezvous opening at the Zig Zag Gallery in The Plains. Rendezvous is a joint show of Winslow McCagg and Tia Maggio. Great space, gorgeous work, and a perfect night for an opening.
Tia and Winslow make a very nice pair.
Nature
Winslow’s art is exceptional. Multiple levels and at least 4 reads per work. The light at the Zig Zag was very good for viewing.
Sorry about the photography here. Too many people to get the light to cooperate.
Winslow. This one looked even better here than at the Mill.
This was our first exposure to Tia’s work. We bought these two.
Amy's favorite. Piney Swamp.
My favorite. Love the blue. Wavelength.

After a hectic week on the road in Europe it was nice to be back home in Virginia. While I was gone, I missed the friday night opening of Winslow McCagg’s solo art show at the Burwell-Morgan Mill. So I went by myself on Sunday to have a look.
The Mill is an interesting setting for abstract art. Winslow’s art is striking and very well executed. Beautiful work.
My favorite painting in the show was called River Goddess.
River Goddess by Winslow McCagg. The interplay between two levels of reading/seeing is particularly striking in this work. Clear and crisp meet cloudy and ethereal. All with gorgeous blues.

Winslow himself came by while I was looking.

One of these years I hope to acquire some of this work. Thanks for creating it Winslow, it is excellent.
We’ll close with a short film I found on vimeo.
