Landscapes and street scenes are among the high-
lights in this year’s show. Many artists have turned
to the outdoors as respite or to be at one with nature,
and it appears eloquently on their canvases.
Low Country Evening by Christopher Forrest is one
example. Explaining the work, the artist says, “Living
on a coastal island I’m surrounded by marsh on one
side and the ocean on the other, and it’s also on a
major bird migratory fl yway. I am both thrilled and
challenged by the opportunity to paint what’s around
me. In the winter, the area is treated to fl ocks of tundra
swans, a truly majestic bird. In 2019 I returned to art
after a 30-year absence and am thoroughly enjoying
painting again.”
For the painting Light in the Woods, artist Will B.
Reyes was inspired by not only the place but also
the atmospheric conditions. “For many of us nature
lovers, the sight of a forest with its abundant vegeta-
tion, exotic fl oras and huge ancient trees is a thrill.
Yet inside these woods is a whole new world in itself—
