You are cordially invited to the artist's reception for Sid Solomon on April 13, 2007 from 7 PM- 9 PM at the gallery at Clark's Cafe 310 High St. in Clinton, MA. He will be exhibiting many paintings in oil, gouache and watercolor.
Sid has been painting for over 40 years and is an accomplished artist in many mediums. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Art Theory and Criticism by the University of Georgia. Since 1980, Sid Solomon has maintained a studio in Worcester, Mass., where he continues to improve his understanding of drawing and painting the human figure at weekly sessions of the Worcester Life Drawing Group, which he coordinates. He has, in addition, become a prolific plein aire painter of the colorful New England landscape in all its seasons, including the depth of winter. He says, "A good portrait painter can paint anything."

The art of Gloria Dube

Gloria Dube Exhibited in March at the Art On Rotation Gallery in Clark's Cafe
Gloria Dube grew up in Europe. Growing up in Europe gave her a chance to appreciate different forms of art in a way many children do not get to enjoy. She would visit castles and museums, and see beautiful, rich furnishings and paintings. Gloria would see ancient churches and, even as a child, be in awe of the expansive, decorated
interiors, and the tremendous skill needed to build them. It was these wonderful childhood experiences that first stirred in her a need to create something beautiful and lasting. But, sadly, she only dabbled in drawing and never really committed to art until about three years ago. By chance, She had purchased art supplies for her son and decided to purchase some for herself. She began with drawing pencils and a sketchpad. Gloria decided to take art instruction with Dan Gaudette of Lowell, MA, a retired art teacher and prolific, skilled oil painter. It was through him, and through any and all books and magazines that she could find, that she really began to
expand herself. Gloria began painting with pastels and found the vibrancy and
immediacy of the medium appealed to her. She also began to learn oil techniques. She felt that drawing skills could help her compose an accurate likeness, while the pastel and oil techniques could help her build beautiful layers of color. Her pastel paintings are full of color and light. Gloria is very gifted at capturing the atmosphere and color of a landscape and the likeness and emotion of a human being in her beautiful pastel paintings. She has displayed only twice before, both times for the Chelmsford Art Society's 4th of July show. She won an honorable mention both
times, once for a portrait, and thereafter, a landscape. I don't doubt that she will win many prizes in the future. She exhibited her pastel paintings at the Art On Rotation Gallery at Clark's Cafe for the month of March. A reception for the
artist was held March 23, 2007 from 7-9pm at Clark's Cafe in Clinton. The exhibit was a great success.
