The Daily Draw: Revisited
-- On Display: July 9 - August 13, 2021
|
In Gallery B, we will feature "Daily Draw Revisited" that will include artwork from the participants of the CAA's Daily Draw Facebook Group. The CAA organized this daily drawing challenge during February and March of 2021, for artists and non-artists alike. The goal was to help the participants develop a fun, creative habit to improve their skills and provide a space to connect with others, as Covid restrictions were still in full effect. The response was great! Our Facebook Group's page lit up each day with wonderful artwork and supportive comments, and we felt that the work we saw deserved an opportunity to be seen in-person. Participants were given the option to display original sketches from one of our daily prompts, or re-work their initial sketches into finished work, or even display their whole sketchbook!

"Recent Paintings" by Robert Moylan
Robert Moylan is a masterful landscape painter hailing from Waterford, NY. Inspired by the rolling landscapes of Rensselaer and Washington Counties, Moylan captures rural beauty in his gouache panoramas. While humans are not depicted, their impact on the landscape is always felt, through glimpses of neatly plowed fields or through farm buildings often found tucked away under dramatic skies or under the light of a full moon.
"The Essence Of" by Carol Saggese
Carol Saggese, has lived in Oneonta, NY all her life and began her creative career later in her life. It is clear that beneath the many layers of her paintings, there lies an expert understanding of the relationships between shape, color, movement and depth. The balance of these key elements provides the foundation of any strong abstract work. Saggese's compositions keep the eye moving and exploring, finding new visual pathways and connections with each pass across the surface of the painting.
