"Battlefield Reflections at Frederick Cellars

Four artists including myself are having an artshow at Frederick Cellars at 221 North East Street in Frederick, MD. I, along with Rebecca Jackson, Deborah Lovelace Richardson, and Glenn Souders have on display plein air landscapes of local battlefields such as Antietam, Monocacy, and Gettysburg. In 2008 I encouraged other artists to paint en plein air and so we started in March of that year at Monocacy Battlefield in Frederick. This is a lesser-known battlefield, and it's an undiscovered gem in our area. We painted together with many other artists from Maryland and Pennsylvnia in June 2009 at Gettysburg, as part of the Gettysburg Festival. Then we hit on the idea of having a joint show so we kept on painting separately and together at Antietam, Monocacy, and the South Mountain battlefield. We organized the show with about 30 pieces, all paintings, at Frederick Cellars for the month of November and it was very well received.
