Interpretations 

watercolors and mixed media by Liz Schiff & Lynette Porteous

June 8-July 7, 2018
Reception: June 8 • 5–8pm

Liz Schiff and Lynette Porteous are long-time friends and watercolor artists. Liz is also a long-time monoprint artist. These two artists showcase paintings that reflect their interpretations both of what they see and what they imagine.

Inspired by a recent trip to China where she purchased an assortment of calligraphy papers, Liz  combines these Chinese papers with bird imagery in a series of mixed media monoprints entitled Flight to China. Liz uses a variety of textures and colors to create paintings that are often whimsical, often lyrical—each one with a different story to tell.

Lynette takes her inspiration from the world around her. This exhibit features her beautifully rendered watercolor landscapes. With a rich palette of exquisite color combinations, Lynette's paintings infuse the viewer not only with a sense of place, but also with a sense of wonder.
