ELLEN DITTEBRANDT

Ellen Dittebrandt's new show"My Intimate View of Nature" opens First Friday!
Great show, with lots of color and light. Her paintings give us a close view of the landscape and the overall feel is one of movement through depth, from light to shade, and does not make you pick a spot to stay, but instead lets your eyes play.
A "must see".

Art tip of the week

I once fired a lawyer because of his choice of artwork. He had let his staff pick out work to hang in the outer offices of his firm. They choose copies of a painter, well known only because of his copies, who's art copyrights are owned by a corporation that trades on Wall Street, and some other copies equally as horrid. They were well framed, but so what. They could have spent far less money on a few originals by people in the community and had an investment as well as a good feeling in the office. (read more)
