Sharon Hawley reading, owner artist Ron Libbrecht listening behind the door. Sharon was reading Janis Lukstein's poem "The Pitcher" on Bill Anderson's painting.
Rick Wilson playing his 1846 Viennese Koch flute in the gallery, artist Bill Anderson listening appreciatively. Many paintings had a carnival or festival theme so Rick played 19th century solo flute variations that well suited the mood.
Radomir Luza reading a poem by Chris Wesley on the watercolor painting by Milford Zornes on a scene in Cuba.
Denise Dumars reading to the audience in the Milford Zornes gallery.
Denise Dumars reading a poem on the same painting as Chris Weley's poem described, of a Cuban scene by Milford Zornes. One of the fascinating aspects of the on site writing is that we hear different poems, different views of the same painting.
Taura Scott reading a poem by Deborah P Kolodji on the painting on the upper right.
Denise and listeners in the main gallery.
A dynamic poem by Denise.
Radomir Luza reading his poem on the seascape by Milford Zornes. You can see the sheet on which the poem is written held in front of the very painting it is about.
Audience peeking into the Milford Zornes room to hear Rick's performance. Rick played to introduce the program and between artists, as well as a finale with encores!
We look forward to a full performance and an accompaying book on Sunday, July 26, at 3 PM.
