Much more than Meets the Eye
In June MFA hosted Paint Annapolis, the plein air juried exhibition. At Circle Gallery and at our Paint Annapolis Pop Up Gallery, hosted more than 20 MFA Member artists as a part of the plein air exhibition. Check out the June 11th digital award reception here.
We’ve finished moving out of the Paint Annapolis pop up, so things have settled down here at the Circle Gallery. This year Paint Annapolis was incredible. Check out these photos from the week during Paint Annapolis 2021.
Seventy-eight public painters participated in Paint Annapolis 2021. Their artwork is now covering the walls of the Paint Annapolis Pop-Up Gallery at 4 Church Circle. The awards were judged by Annapolis’ Mayor, Gavin Buckley, the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association juror, Bruno Baran, and the Annapolis Gallery Association jurors. Congratulations to the Public Artist Awards winners!
“Over the past few years, I have actively been pursuing my passion for watercolor and in the process developing a wonderful circle of like-minded people who have inspired and encouraged me. I sincerely hope that I may continue to be inspired by these persons, and others as yet unmet, as I improve along my path of being the best watercolor painter that I can be!”
“What intrigues me most is the symbolism woven in the human brain that allows one simple stroke to suggest an intricate object or a complicated scene. I will never tire of the thrill of that phenomenon.”
