A Charleston Welcome
Date:
12-5-2008
Description
Sally Cade's signature style of capturing the fine details of Charleston architecture has made her work popular with collectors who want to take home a Charleston memory. Her latest series of oils includes a tribute to gathering places -- eateries and pubs that are at the heart of the Charleston experience -- and charming doorways that beckon you to enter. Cade's paintings capture the flavor of the city -- in her pieces you can hear the church bells, feel the warmth of the gas lamps and wonder at the fabulous palette of this vibrant, historic city.

Visual Diaries - Ann Merrill &Leslie Pratt-Thomas
Date:
3-7-2008
Description
<P>Travel Journals – Visual Diaries<BR>Two Woman Show featuring Ann Lee Merrill and Leslie Pratt-Thomas</P>
<P>This March, Edward Dare Gallery located on Historic Broad Street’s Gallery Row in Charleston, SC will feature a globe spanning collection of works inspired by the extensive travels of painters Ann Lee Merrill and Leslie Pratt-Thomas. Europe, New Zealand, Mexico, the Caribbean, Thailand and Africa are all captured in these visual diaries. Regular jaunts abroad have resulted in a constantly growing and evolving body of work for both artists. Don’t miss this opportunity to take home a lasting remembrance of your favorite corner of the world. This show will begin with an opening reception on Friday, March 7 from 5 – 8 pm during the FQGA artwalk and will close the end of March.</P>
<P>As with Ms. Pratt-Thomas, the lowcountry is Ms. Merrill’s home. Merrill has said, “…the people, the shores, the marshes, the reminders of historic struggles of the peninsula and surrounding areas, are all a part of me. I love the excitement of going over the bridges of Charleston, seeing the long vistas of horizontal bands of color, the thousands of greens, blues, golds and reds revealed as we travel in the low country. This landscape, ageless and ever new, where the big sky and the horizon seem to go on forever, is always so paintable.” Merrill and Pratt-Thomas will continue to travel and bring home their painted visual diaries of their journeys abroad, and you can rest assured that they when they bring these pieces home it will be to Charleston. The Edward Dare Gallery is located at 31 Broad St, Charleston, 843-853-5002. To preview this show log onto <A href="http://www.edwarddare.com">www.edwarddare.com</A><BR></P>

People, Places & Things, new oils by Rich Nelson
Date:
12-7-2007
Description
With his use of purposeful, strong and visible brushstrokes, there is a definite sense of the artist’s hand at work in the paintings of Rich Nelson, whether it is in the texture of an orange, the plump yet delicate, hands of a child or a fleeting moment captured in a landscape painted en plein aire . In his pieces you can almost taste the fruit, smell the salt air and feel the subjects breathe. We are proud to present Nelson’s latest work in this extraordinary offering of paintings of simply people, places and things.

Southern Light - Paint Out
Date:
5-28-2008
Description
<FONT size=3><SUP>
<P>After the success of last year's event, the 2008 Southern Light Plein Air Paintout will take place again this May in downtown Charleston, SC. The event will begin with the canvas stamping on Wed., May 28 and will end with the reception and silent auction at the Charleston Harbour Club on Sat., May 31 (with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the Charleston County School of the Arts Music Program). One of the highlights of this Plein Air Paint Out is the honor of having nationally acclaimed plein air painter Tony Van Hasselt, aws as the juror for the painting exhibition. <BR> <BR>This event is open to all artists and would be of interest to any outdoor painter who would enjoy spending a few days painting in beautiful Charleston, SC this May. The Spoleto Festival is still in full swing during this last week of May, so it's an extra special time to plan a visit to Charleston. For artists that live here, its a great time to be outdoors painting in downtown Charleston with all of the festival excitement in the air. Artists are invited to bring any available handouts, brochures, postcards etc that advertise their gallery affiliations and/or their personal studio information so that potential clients will know how to find them and their work after the event.</P>
<P>The Charleston County School of the Arts Band Program is nationally recognized as one of the nations outstanding high school bands. Despite their impressive record nationally as musicians and as a top 10 school in the state academically, this program is faced with finding ways to continue its proud tradition of excellence with ever decreasing funds. With a budget of over $60,000, less than $4,000 is provided by the School District ($44 per student per year). As a result, the burden of increased funding falls upon the families of these talented young men and women; who many times cannot meet this shortfall. Through the generosity of participating artists, galleries, sponsoring merchants, and patrons of the arts, hopefully a portion of this funding deficit can be met.</P>
<P>For more information about the Broad Street Merchants Association and Gallery Row, this event or to request a registration package, please contact Julie Sweat at the Edward Dare Gallery 843-853-5002, </SUP></FONT><A href="http://www.edwarddare.com/"><U><SUP><FONT color=#0000ff size=3>www.edwarddare.com</U></SUP></FONT></A><SUP><FONT size=3> .</P></SUP></FONT>

Natural Rhythm, paintings by Michael Patterson
Date:
12-1-2007
Description
<P>Join us at Sandpiper Gallery on Sat. Dec. 1 from 6 - 8 pm for our Holiday Celebration and opening reception for "Natural Rhythm", new paintings by artist Michael Patterson. Rendered in dramatic color with a nod to cubism, Patterson's work has a graphic energy created by a focus on the negative shapes formed by an object, repetition of these shapes and the lines created when color massses converge. The relationship of these shapes sets the rhythm for a piece and leads the viewers eye around the piece. These oils and watercolors of performing musicians, figures lounging on beaches or hovering on rainy city streets give a fresh face to the familiar, revealing the universality of everyday life. </P>

Figurative Works - Jim Darlington
Date:
11-7-2008
Description
Darlington has developed a following in each category that he paints; landscapes, still life, architectural and figurative works. However, portraiture is the area that he enjoys most; often combining features from several models into one portrait. His latest series of figurative pieces were created using a wide range of hues, from pure white to deep black -- with palette knife work to better indicate texture. These techniques add a sculptural quality to the paintings and a dramatic visual impact.
