You Are Invited!

"Alexis Lavine Watercolors" is the name of a solo exhibition of paintings by National Watercolor Society artist Alexis lavine that we will have going on here at Hampton House May 5th- May 30th. The opening reception will be held on the evening of May 7th from 5:30- 7:30 p.m., and you are invited!

Alexis Lavine is an artist who has devoted the last two decades of her life to watercolor painting. Her watercolors' are full of luminous color, rich shadows, and beautifully drawn shapes. With meticulous attention to composition, she crafts paintings that are descriptive and yet expressive, realistic, and yet abstract. Her award winning paintings have been included in numerous juried and gallery exhibitions, and they hang in private and corporate collections throughout the country, as well as overseas. She lives and paints right here in North Carolina.

A couple of her paintings are on display right now at major exhibitions across the country, such as:

 "Red Hat Ladies Share a Secret"

This painting is on its way to the Springfield Art Museum in Springfield, Missouri, where it will be part of an important survey of American Watercolors called "Watercolor USA 2015." This exhibition is held at the museum every year, and is made up of paintings from all over the country, juried from hundreds of submitted entries. This is Alexis' fifth year in a row of having her art displayed.



 
"At the Crossing"

This painting is at the American Watercolor Society show, in New York City, this month. This is the most prestigious watercolor exhibition in the country every year.







If all of that doesn't make you excited to come see this artist's work, I don't know what will!

So tell your friends, tell your family, and mark your calendars because you won't want to miss this!

See you soon!
