In The Pirates of Penzance, Frederic was as a child apprenticed to a band of tenderhearted, orphaned pirates by his nurse who, being hard of hearing, had mistaken her master's instructions to apprentice the boy to a pilot. Frederic, upon completing his 21st year, rejoices that he has fulfilled his indentures and is now free to return to respectable society. But it turns out that he was born on February 29 in leap year, and he remains apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday.

Orange County Regional History Center extends
Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery
Through September 12, 2010
The Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando, Fla., will extend the run of the exhibit Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery through September 12, 2010. Fine art photographer Barbara Ery's collection of 30 photo transfers highlights buildings including the Howard Vernon Motel, The Plaza Theatre, and the Kress Building, and iconic signs at Johnson's Diner, McNamara Pontiac, and Merita Bread. The exhibit was originally scheduled to run June 5 through August 8, 2010.
Ery, photographer and emerging artist, enjoys shooting and working directly with film. Ery crafts original photo transfers using the Polaroid Transfer Process, developing images on watercolor paper using varying exposure times, temperatures, colors, and film. For this exhibit, she produced the one-of-a-kind photo transfers of familiar Orlando landmarks using a camera, enlarger, slide printer, and Polaroid film to create a nostalgic effect reminiscent of browsing through an heirloom photo album. Ery believes each photo transfer has a dreamy, impressionist quality that showcases the special method of the Polaroid Transfer Process.
The Orange County Regional History Center, housed in a restored historic five-story 1927 courthouse in downtown Orlando, showcases the vast collections of the Historical Society of Central Florida, Inc. The museum features three floors of permanent exhibits and also presents nationally important limited-run exhibitions.

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery

Orange County Regional History Center extends
Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery
Through September 12, 2010
The Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando, Fla., will extend the run of the exhibit Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery through September 12, 2010. Fine art photographer Barbara Ery's collection of 30 photo transfers highlights buildings including the Howard Vernon Motel, The Plaza Theatre, and the Kress Building, and iconic signs at Johnson's Diner, McNamara Pontiac, and Merita Bread. The exhibit was originally scheduled to run June 5 through August 8, 2010.
Ery, photographer and emerging artist, enjoys shooting and working directly with film. Ery crafts original photo transfers using the Polaroid Transfer Process, developing images on watercolor paper using varying exposure times, temperatures, colors, and film. For this exhibit, she produced the one-of-a-kind photo transfers of familiar Orlando landmarks using a camera, enlarger, slide printer, and Polaroid film to create a nostalgic effect reminiscent of browsing through an heirloom photo album. Ery believes each photo transfer has a dreamy, impressionist quality that showcases the special method of the Polaroid Transfer Process.
The Orange County Regional History Center, housed in a restored historic five-story 1927 courthouse in downtown Orlando, showcases the vast collections of the Historical Society of Central Florida, Inc. The museum features three floors of permanent exhibits and also presents nationally important limited-run exhibitions.

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery

Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings opens August 6, 7:00 p.m.
Crealdé School of Art will be presenting an exhibition at the Alice and William Jenkins Gallery, entitled Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings by Stephen Bach, Larry Moore and Don Sondag. The exhibition will be open from August 6 to October 2, and the opening reception will be held on Friday, August 6 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Bach, Moore and Sondag are Central Florida painters who each work in their own individual style, but share a common emphasis on revealing the beauty and tranquility of their subjects. Their subtle use of tone, harmonious colors and balanced compositions create a sense of calm and tranquility. This body of work suggests that it is still possible to experience serenity when the eyes and mind are quietly focused on the environment.
Stephen Bach attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. and worked in commercial design and illustration until 1999. He chose to devote himself to landscape painting thereafter. He is represented by galleries throughout the country, including the Miller Gallery in Cincinnati, Third and Wall Gallery in Seattle, and Signature Gallery in Tallahassee. He recently received a United Arts grant to fund a painting expedition in the Great Smoky Mountains, and will be showing the resulting work this fall at Bennett Galley in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Larry Moore is well known locally as an illustrator and plein air landscape painter. His work has won recognition and a gold medal award from the New York and Los Angeles Societies of Illustrators. His landscapes have won awards in the Carmel Art Festival (Best of Show in 2010, Best Oil in 2009), in Easton, Maryland (Best Pastoral, 2006) to name a few. His work is represented in galleries throughout the Southeast, and in Maryland and California.
Don Sondag earned a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1986, and continued his studies in New York at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League (1995-1996). He serves as Senior Faculty Member at Crealdé School of Art, and is a popular and widely sought painter of commissioned portraits and landscapes of local scenes. His work has appeared on posters for local events: the 2000 Winter Park Arts Festival; and an image of the Gamble Rogers' Casa Feliz. He also won honorable mention awards at the 2009 and 2010 Carmel Art Festival.

Ery, photographer and emerging artist, enjoys shooting and working directly with film. Ery crafts original photo transfers using the Polaroid Transfer Process, developing images on watercolor paper using varying exposure times, temperatures, colors, and film. For this exhibit, she produced the one-of-a-kind photo transfers of familiar Orlando landmarks using a camera, enlarger, slide printer, and Polaroid film to create a nostalgic effect reminiscent of browsing through an heirloom photo album. Ery believes each photo transfer has a dreamy, impressionist quality that showcases the special method of the Polaroid Transfer Process.

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery

Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings opens August 6, 7:00 p.m.
Crealdé School of Art will be presenting an exhibition at the Alice and William Jenkins Gallery, entitled Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings by Stephen Bach, Larry Moore and Don Sondag. The exhibition will be open from August 6 to October 2, and the opening reception will be held on Friday, August 6 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Bach, Moore and Sondag are Central Florida painters who each work in their own individual style, but share a common emphasis on revealing the beauty and tranquility of their subjects. Their subtle use of tone, harmonious colors and balanced compositions create a sense of calm and tranquility. This body of work suggests that it is still possible to experience serenity when the eyes and mind are quietly focused on the environment.
Stephen Bach attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. and worked in commercial design and illustration until 1999. He chose to devote himself to landscape painting thereafter. He is represented by galleries throughout the country, including the Miller Gallery in Cincinnati, Third and Wall Gallery in Seattle, and Signature Gallery in Tallahassee. He recently received a United Arts grant to fund a painting expedition in the Great Smoky Mountains, and will be showing the resulting work this fall at Bennett Galley in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Larry Moore is well known locally as an illustrator and plein air landscape painter. His work has won recognition and a gold medal award from the New York and Los Angeles Societies of Illustrators. His landscapes have won awards in the Carmel Art Festival (Best of Show in 2010, Best Oil in 2009), in Easton, Maryland (Best Pastoral, 2006) to name a few. His work is represented in galleries throughout the Southeast, and in Maryland and California.
Don Sondag earned a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1986, and continued his studies in New York at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League (1995-1996). He serves as Senior Faculty Member at Crealdé School of Art, and is a popular and widely sought painter of commissioned portraits and landscapes of local scenes. His work has appeared on posters for local events: the 2000 Winter Park Arts Festival; and an image of the Gamble Rogers' Casa Feliz. He also won honorable mention awards at the 2009 and 2010 Carmel Art Festival.

In The Pirates of Penzance, Frederic was as a child apprenticed to a band of tenderhearted, orphaned pirates by his nurse who, being hard of hearing, had mistaken her master's instructions to apprentice the boy to a pilot. Frederic, upon completing his 21st year, rejoices that he has fulfilled his indentures and is now free to return to respectable society. But it turns out that he was born on February 29 in leap year, and he remains apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday.

Orange County Regional History Center extends
Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery
Through September 12, 2010
The Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando, Fla., will extend the run of the exhibit Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery through September 12, 2010. Fine art photographer Barbara Ery's collection of 30 photo transfers highlights buildings including the Howard Vernon Motel, The Plaza Theatre, and the Kress Building, and iconic signs at Johnson's Diner, McNamara Pontiac, and Merita Bread. The exhibit was originally scheduled to run June 5 through August 8, 2010.
Ery, photographer and emerging artist, enjoys shooting and working directly with film. Ery crafts original photo transfers using the Polaroid Transfer Process, developing images on watercolor paper using varying exposure times, temperatures, colors, and film. For this exhibit, she produced the one-of-a-kind photo transfers of familiar Orlando landmarks using a camera, enlarger, slide printer, and Polaroid film to create a nostalgic effect reminiscent of browsing through an heirloom photo album. Ery believes each photo transfer has a dreamy, impressionist quality that showcases the special method of the Polaroid Transfer Process.

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery

Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings opens August 6, 7:00 p.m.
Crealdé School of Art will be presenting an exhibition at the Alice and William Jenkins Gallery, entitled Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings by Stephen Bach, Larry Moore and Don Sondag. The exhibition will be open from August 6 to October 2, and the opening reception will be held on Friday, August 6 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Bach, Moore and Sondag are Central Florida painters who each work in their own individual style, but share a common emphasis on revealing the beauty and tranquility of their subjects. Their subtle use of tone, harmonious colors and balanced compositions create a sense of calm and tranquility. This body of work suggests that it is still possible to experience serenity when the eyes and mind are quietly focused on the environment.
Stephen Bach attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. and worked in commercial design and illustration until 1999. He chose to devote himself to landscape painting thereafter. He is represented by galleries throughout the country, including the Miller Gallery in Cincinnati, Third and Wall Gallery in Seattle, and Signature Gallery in Tallahassee. He recently received a United Arts grant to fund a painting expedition in the Great Smoky Mountains, and will be showing the resulting work this fall at Bennett Galley in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Larry Moore is well known locally as an illustrator and plein air landscape painter. His work has won recognition and a gold medal award from the New York and Los Angeles Societies of Illustrators. His landscapes have won awards in the Carmel Art Festival (Best of Show in 2010, Best Oil in 2009), in Easton, Maryland (Best Pastoral, 2006) to name a few. His work is represented in galleries throughout the Southeast, and in Maryland and California.
Don Sondag earned a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1986, and continued his studies in New York at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League (1995-1996). He serves as Senior Faculty Member at Crealdé School of Art, and is a popular and widely sought painter of commissioned portraits and landscapes of local scenes. His work has appeared on posters for local events: the 2000 Winter Park Arts Festival; and an image of the Gamble Rogers' Casa Feliz. He also won honorable mention awards at the 2009 and 2010 Carmel Art Festival.

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery

Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings opens August 6, 7:00 p.m.
Crealdé School of Art will be presenting an exhibition at the Alice and William Jenkins Gallery, entitled Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings by Stephen Bach, Larry Moore and Don Sondag. The exhibition will be open from August 6 to October 2, and the opening reception will be held on Friday, August 6 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Bach, Moore and Sondag are Central Florida painters who each work in their own individual style, but share a common emphasis on revealing the beauty and tranquility of their subjects. Their subtle use of tone, harmonious colors and balanced compositions create a sense of calm and tranquility. This body of work suggests that it is still possible to experience serenity when the eyes and mind are quietly focused on the environment.
Stephen Bach attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. and worked in commercial design and illustration until 1999. He chose to devote himself to landscape painting thereafter. He is represented by galleries throughout the country, including the Miller Gallery in Cincinnati, Third and Wall Gallery in Seattle, and Signature Gallery in Tallahassee. He recently received a United Arts grant to fund a painting expedition in the Great Smoky Mountains, and will be showing the resulting work this fall at Bennett Galley in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Larry Moore is well known locally as an illustrator and plein air landscape painter. His work has won recognition and a gold medal award from the New York and Los Angeles Societies of Illustrators. His landscapes have won awards in the Carmel Art Festival (Best of Show in 2010, Best Oil in 2009), in Easton, Maryland (Best Pastoral, 2006) to name a few. His work is represented in galleries throughout the Southeast, and in Maryland and California.
Don Sondag earned a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1986, and continued his studies in New York at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League (1995-1996). He serves as Senior Faculty Member at Crealdé School of Art, and is a popular and widely sought painter of commissioned portraits and landscapes of local scenes. His work has appeared on posters for local events: the 2000 Winter Park Arts Festival; and an image of the Gamble Rogers' Casa Feliz. He also won honorable mention awards at the 2009 and 2010 Carmel Art Festival.

The Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando, Fla., will extend the run of the exhibit Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery through September 12, 2010.

The exhibit was originally scheduled to run June 5 through August 8, 2010.
Ery, photographer and emerging artist, enjoys shooting and working directly with film.

In The Pirates of Penzance, Frederic was as a child apprenticed to a band of tenderhearted, orphaned pirates by his nurse who, being hard of hearing, had mistaken her master's instructions to apprentice the boy to a pilot. Frederic, upon completing his 21st year, rejoices that he has fulfilled his indentures and is now free to return to respectable society. But it turns out that he was born on February 29 in leap year, and he remains apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday.

Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings opens August 6, 7:00 p.m.
Crealdé School of Art will be presenting an exhibition at the Alice and William Jenkins Gallery, entitled Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings by Stephen Bach, Larry Moore and Don Sondag. The exhibition will be open from August 6 to October 2, and the opening reception will be held on Friday, August 6 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Bach, Moore and Sondag are Central Florida painters who each work in their own individual style, but share a common emphasis on revealing the beauty and tranquility of their subjects. Their subtle use of tone, harmonious colors and balanced compositions create a sense of calm and tranquility. This body of work suggests that it is still possible to experience serenity when the eyes and mind are quietly focused on the environment.
Stephen Bach attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. and worked in commercial design and illustration until 1999. He chose to devote himself to landscape painting thereafter. He is represented by galleries throughout the country, including the Miller Gallery in Cincinnati, Third and Wall Gallery in Seattle, and Signature Gallery in Tallahassee. He recently received a United Arts grant to fund a painting expedition in the Great Smoky Mountains, and will be showing the resulting work this fall at Bennett Galley in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Larry Moore is well known locally as an illustrator and plein air landscape painter. His work has won recognition and a gold medal award from the New York and Los Angeles Societies of Illustrators. His landscapes have won awards in the Carmel Art Festival (Best of Show in 2010, Best Oil in 2009), in Easton, Maryland (Best Pastoral, 2006) to name a few. His work is represented in galleries throughout the Southeast, and in Maryland and California.
Don Sondag earned a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1986, and continued his studies in New York at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League (1995-1996). He serves as Senior Faculty Member at Crealdé School of Art, and is a popular and widely sought painter of commissioned portraits and landscapes of local scenes. His work has appeared on posters for local events: the 2000 Winter Park Arts Festival; and an image of the Gamble Rogers' Casa Feliz. He also won honorable mention awards at the 2009 and 2010 Carmel Art Festival.

Orange County Regional History Center extends
Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery
Through September 12, 2010
The Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando, Fla., will extend the run of the exhibit Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery through September 12, 2010. Fine art photographer Barbara Ery's collection of 30 photo transfers highlights buildings including the Howard Vernon Motel, The Plaza Theatre, and the Kress Building, and iconic signs at Johnson's Diner, McNamara Pontiac, and Merita Bread. The exhibit was originally scheduled to run June 5 through August 8, 2010.
Ery, photographer and emerging artist, enjoys shooting and working directly with film. Ery crafts original photo transfers using the Polaroid Transfer Process, developing images on watercolor paper using varying exposure times, temperatures, colors, and film. For this exhibit, she produced the one-of-a-kind photo transfers of familiar Orlando landmarks using a camera, enlarger, slide printer, and Polaroid film to create a nostalgic effect reminiscent of browsing through an heirloom photo album. Ery believes each photo transfer has a dreamy, impressionist quality that showcases the special method of the Polaroid Transfer Process.
The Orange County Regional History Center, housed in a restored historic five-story 1927 courthouse in downtown Orlando, showcases the vast collections of the Historical Society of Central Florida, Inc. The museum features three floors of permanent exhibits and also presents nationally important limited-run exhibitions.

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery

But it turns out that he was born on February 29 in leap year, and he remains apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday.

Orange County Regional History Center extends
Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery
Through September 12, 2010
The Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando, Fla., will extend the run of the exhibit Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery through September 12, 2010. Fine art photographer Barbara Ery's collection of 30 photo transfers highlights buildings including the Howard Vernon Motel, The Plaza Theatre, and the Kress Building, and iconic signs at Johnson's Diner, McNamara Pontiac, and Merita Bread. The exhibit was originally scheduled to run June 5 through August 8, 2010.
Ery, photographer and emerging artist, enjoys shooting and working directly with film. Ery crafts original photo transfers using the Polaroid Transfer Process, developing images on watercolor paper using varying exposure times, temperatures, colors, and film. For this exhibit, she produced the one-of-a-kind photo transfers of familiar Orlando landmarks using a camera, enlarger, slide printer, and Polaroid film to create a nostalgic effect reminiscent of browsing through an heirloom photo album. Ery believes each photo transfer has a dreamy, impressionist quality that showcases the special method of the Polaroid Transfer Process.

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery

Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings opens August 6, 7:00 p.m.
Crealdé School of Art will be presenting an exhibition at the Alice and William Jenkins Gallery, entitled Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings by Stephen Bach, Larry Moore and Don Sondag. The exhibition will be open from August 6 to October 2, and the opening reception will be held on Friday, August 6 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Bach, Moore and Sondag are Central Florida painters who each work in their own individual style, but share a common emphasis on revealing the beauty and tranquility of their subjects. Their subtle use of tone, harmonious colors and balanced compositions create a sense of calm and tranquility. This body of work suggests that it is still possible to experience serenity when the eyes and mind are quietly focused on the environment.
Stephen Bach attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. and worked in commercial design and illustration until 1999. He chose to devote himself to landscape painting thereafter. He is represented by galleries throughout the country, including the Miller Gallery in Cincinnati, Third and Wall Gallery in Seattle, and Signature Gallery in Tallahassee. He recently received a United Arts grant to fund a painting expedition in the Great Smoky Mountains, and will be showing the resulting work this fall at Bennett Galley in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Larry Moore is well known locally as an illustrator and plein air landscape painter. His work has won recognition and a gold medal award from the New York and Los Angeles Societies of Illustrators. His landscapes have won awards in the Carmel Art Festival (Best of Show in 2010, Best Oil in 2009), in Easton, Maryland (Best Pastoral, 2006) to name a few. His work is represented in galleries throughout the Southeast, and in Maryland and California.
Don Sondag earned a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1986, and continued his studies in New York at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League (1995-1996). He serves as Senior Faculty Member at Crealdé School of Art, and is a popular and widely sought painter of commissioned portraits and landscapes of local scenes. His work has appeared on posters for local events: the 2000 Winter Park Arts Festival; and an image of the Gamble Rogers' Casa Feliz. He also won honorable mention awards at the 2009 and 2010 Carmel Art Festival.

Orange County Regional History Center extends
Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery
Through September 12, 2010
The Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando, Fla., will extend the run of the exhibit Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery through September 12, 2010. Fine art photographer Barbara Ery's collection of 30 photo transfers highlights buildings including the Howard Vernon Motel, The Plaza Theatre, and the Kress Building, and iconic signs at Johnson's Diner, McNamara Pontiac, and Merita Bread. The exhibit was originally scheduled to run June 5 through August 8, 2010.
Ery, photographer and emerging artist, enjoys shooting and working directly with film. Ery crafts original photo transfers using the Polaroid Transfer Process, developing images on watercolor paper using varying exposure times, temperatures, colors, and film. For this exhibit, she produced the one-of-a-kind photo transfers of familiar Orlando landmarks using a camera, enlarger, slide printer, and Polaroid film to create a nostalgic effect reminiscent of browsing through an heirloom photo album. Ery believes each photo transfer has a dreamy, impressionist quality that showcases the special method of the Polaroid Transfer Process.

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery

Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings opens August 6, 7:00 p.m.
Crealdé School of Art will be presenting an exhibition at the Alice and William Jenkins Gallery, entitled Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings by Stephen Bach, Larry Moore and Don Sondag. The exhibition will be open from August 6 to October 2, and the opening reception will be held on Friday, August 6 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Bach, Moore and Sondag are Central Florida painters who each work in their own individual style, but share a common emphasis on revealing the beauty and tranquility of their subjects. Their subtle use of tone, harmonious colors and balanced compositions create a sense of calm and tranquility. This body of work suggests that it is still possible to experience serenity when the eyes and mind are quietly focused on the environment.
Stephen Bach attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. and worked in commercial design and illustration until 1999. He chose to devote himself to landscape painting thereafter. He is represented by galleries throughout the country, including the Miller Gallery in Cincinnati, Third and Wall Gallery in Seattle, and Signature Gallery in Tallahassee.

Larry Moore is well known locally as an illustrator and plein air landscape painter. His work has won recognition and a gold medal award from the New York and Los Angeles Societies of Illustrators. His landscapes have won awards in the Carmel Art Festival (Best of Show in 2010, Best Oil in 2009), in Easton, Maryland (Best Pastoral, 2006) to name a few.

Domingo's performance is particularly impressive as it features him singing the titular role of Simon Boccenegra - a baritone role - even though Domingo spent his entire career as a tenor.

Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings opens August 6, 7:00 p.m.
Crealdé School of Art will be presenting an exhibition at the Alice and William Jenkins Gallery, entitled Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings by Stephen Bach, Larry Moore and Don Sondag. The exhibition will be open from August 6 to October 2, and the opening reception will be held on Friday, August 6 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Bach, Moore and Sondag are Central Florida painters who each work in their own individual style, but share a common emphasis on revealing the beauty and tranquility of their subjects. Their subtle use of tone, harmonious colors and balanced compositions create a sense of calm and tranquility. This body of work suggests that it is still possible to experience serenity when the eyes and mind are quietly focused on the environment.
Stephen Bach attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. and worked in commercial design and illustration until 1999. He chose to devote himself to landscape painting thereafter. He is represented by galleries throughout the country, including the Miller Gallery in Cincinnati, Third and Wall Gallery in Seattle, and Signature Gallery in Tallahassee. He recently received a United Arts grant to fund a painting expedition in the Great Smoky Mountains, and will be showing the resulting work this fall at Bennett Galley in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Larry Moore is well known locally as an illustrator and plein air landscape painter. His work has won recognition and a gold medal award from the New York and Los Angeles Societies of Illustrators. His landscapes have won awards in the Carmel Art Festival (Best of Show in 2010, Best Oil in 2009), in Easton, Maryland (Best Pastoral, 2006) to name a few. His work is represented in galleries throughout the Southeast, and in Maryland and California.
Don Sondag earned a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1986, and continued his studies in New York at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League (1995-1996). He serves as Senior Faculty Member at Crealdé School of Art, and is a popular and widely sought painter of commissioned portraits and landscapes of local scenes. His work has appeared on posters for local events: the 2000 Winter Park Arts Festival; and an image of the Gamble Rogers' Casa Feliz. He also won honorable mention awards at the 2009 and 2010 Carmel Art Festival.

Orange County Regional History Center extends
Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery
Through September 12, 2010
The Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando, Fla., will extend the run of the exhibit Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery through September 12, 2010. Fine art photographer Barbara Ery's collection of 30 photo transfers highlights buildings including the Howard Vernon Motel, The Plaza Theatre, and the Kress Building, and iconic signs at Johnson's Diner, McNamara Pontiac, and Merita Bread. The exhibit was originally scheduled to run June 5 through August 8, 2010.
Ery, photographer and emerging artist, enjoys shooting and working directly with film. Ery crafts original photo transfers using the Polaroid Transfer Process, developing images on watercolor paper using varying exposure times, temperatures, colors, and film. For this exhibit, she produced the one-of-a-kind photo transfers of familiar Orlando landmarks using a camera, enlarger, slide printer, and Polaroid film to create a nostalgic effect reminiscent of browsing through an heirloom photo album. Ery believes each photo transfer has a dreamy, impressionist quality that showcases the special method of the Polaroid Transfer Process.
The Orange County Regional History Center, housed in a restored historic five-story 1927 courthouse in downtown Orlando, showcases the vast collections of the Historical Society of Central Florida, Inc. The museum features three floors of permanent exhibits and also presents nationally important limited-run exhibitions.

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery

Violas in the Forefront at Philharmonic Concert
The Orlando Philharmonic concludes its 2010 Sounds of Summer Series with a program featuring the talented viola section of the orchestra. Viva Viola! takes place on Monday, August 23, 2010 at 7:00 PM in the Margeson Theater, located in the Lowndes Shakespeare Center, 812 E. Rollins Street, Orlando.
Viva Viola! celebrates this deeply expressive instrument and its infinite possibilities. The viola quartet ensemble performs a wide range of repertoire including works by J.S. Bach, Telemann, Piazzolla, Shostakovich and more. Audience members will be taken on a musical journey from the Renaissance to the 20 th century; from the tango to serene mountain fiddling.
Mauricio Cespedes Rivero, Principal Viola of the Philharmonic, says, "The viola, as an inner voice in an ensemble, has the capability of adding a special color in the music, a sound often described as warm, deep, and rich. Some consider the viola sound to be the 'heart' of the orchestra. The viola's role in orchestral and chamber ensembles has changed throughout time. Its prominence has increased from being just an inner voice in the counterpoint, to taking the lead role in pieces that feature predominant solo parts."
Works on the program include Telemann's Concerto No. 1 in C for Four Violas, Shostakovich's Praludium, Dean Marshall's Mountain Spring, Gabriel Marie's La Cinquantaine, Thomas Morely's I Will No More Come To Thee and J.S. Bach's Fugue in G Minor and English Madrigal Suite.
Performing on the program are Philharmonic violists Mauricio Cespedes Rivero, Melissa Libby Swedberg, Douglas Pritchard and Karen Peters. Ms. Peters also performs on piano.
Tickets are available in three price levels: Level 1 seating: $37 for adults, $33 for seniors and $18.50 for students with valid ID; Level 2 seating: $26 for adults, $23 for seniors and $13 for students with valid ID; Level 3 seating: $14 for adults, seniors and students. To purchase tickets or for more information, please phone the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra Box Office at 407-770-0071, or visit our web site at www.OrlandoPhil.org <http://www.OrlandoPhil.org>.

Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings opens August 6, 7:00 p.m.
Crealdé School of Art will be presenting an exhibition at the Alice and William Jenkins Gallery, entitled Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings by Stephen Bach, Larry Moore and Don Sondag. The exhibition will be open from August 6 to October 2, and the opening reception will be held on Friday, August 6 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Bach, Moore and Sondag are Central Florida painters who each work in their own individual style, but share a common emphasis on revealing the beauty and tranquility of their subjects. Their subtle use of tone, harmonious colors and balanced compositions create a sense of calm and tranquility. This body of work suggests that it is still possible to experience serenity when the eyes and mind are quietly focused on the environment.
Stephen Bach attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. and worked in commercial design and illustration until 1999. He chose to devote himself to landscape painting thereafter. He is represented by galleries throughout the country, including the Miller Gallery in Cincinnati, Third and Wall Gallery in Seattle, and Signature Gallery in Tallahassee. He recently received a United Arts grant to fund a painting expedition in the Great Smoky Mountains, and will be showing the resulting work this fall at Bennett Galley in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Larry Moore is well known locally as an illustrator and plein air landscape painter. His work has won recognition and a gold medal award from the New York and Los Angeles Societies of Illustrators. His landscapes have won awards in the Carmel Art Festival (Best of Show in 2010, Best Oil in 2009), in Easton, Maryland (Best Pastoral, 2006) to name a few. His work is represented in galleries throughout the Southeast, and in Maryland and California.
Don Sondag earned a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1986, and continued his studies in New York at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League (1995-1996). He serves as Senior Faculty Member at Crealdé School of Art, and is a popular and widely sought painter of commissioned portraits and landscapes of local scenes. His work has appeared on posters for local events: the 2000 Winter Park Arts Festival; and an image of the Gamble Rogers' Casa Feliz. He also won honorable mention awards at the 2009 and 2010 Carmel Art Festival.

Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery
Through September 12, 2010
The Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando, Fla., will extend the run of the exhibit Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery through September 12, 2010. Fine art photographer Barbara Ery's collection of 30 photo transfers highlights buildings including the Howard Vernon Motel, The Plaza Theatre, and the Kress Building, and iconic signs at Johnson's Diner, McNamara Pontiac, and Merita Bread. The exhibit was originally scheduled to run June 5 through August 8, 2010.
Ery, photographer and emerging artist, enjoys shooting and working directly with film. Ery crafts original photo transfers using the Polaroid Transfer Process, developing images on watercolor paper using varying exposure times, temperatures, colors, and film. For this exhibit, she produced the one-of-a-kind photo transfers of familiar Orlando landmarks using a camera, enlarger, slide printer, and Polaroid film to create a nostalgic effect reminiscent of browsing through an heirloom photo album. Ery believes each photo transfer has a dreamy, impressionist quality that showcases the special method of the Polaroid Transfer Process.

Orange County Regional History Center extends
Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery
Through September 12, 2010
The Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando, Fla., will extend the run of the exhibit Orlando Landmarks: Photo Transfers by Barbara Ery through September 12, 2010. Fine art photographer Barbara Ery's collection of 30 photo transfers highlights buildings including the Howard Vernon Motel, The Plaza Theatre, and the Kress Building, and iconic signs at Johnson's Diner, McNamara Pontiac, and Merita Bread. The exhibit was originally scheduled to run June 5 through August 8, 2010.
Ery, photographer and emerging artist, enjoys shooting and working directly with film. Ery crafts original photo transfers using the Polaroid Transfer Process, developing images on watercolor paper using varying exposure times, temperatures, colors, and film. For this exhibit, she produced the one-of-a-kind photo transfers of familiar Orlando landmarks using a camera, enlarger, slide printer, and Polaroid film to create a nostalgic effect reminiscent of browsing through an heirloom photo album. Ery believes each photo transfer has a dreamy, impressionist quality that showcases the special method of the Polaroid Transfer Process.

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery

Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings opens August 6, 7:00 p.m.
Crealdé School of Art will be presenting an exhibition at the Alice and William Jenkins Gallery, entitled Lyrical Harmonies: Landscape Paintings by Stephen Bach, Larry Moore and Don Sondag. The exhibition will be open from August 6 to October 2, and the opening reception will be held on Friday, August 6 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Bach, Moore and Sondag are Central Florida painters who each work in their own individual style, but share a common emphasis on revealing the beauty and tranquility of their subjects. Their subtle use of tone, harmonious colors and balanced compositions create a sense of calm and tranquility. This body of work suggests that it is still possible to experience serenity when the eyes and mind are quietly focused on the environment.
Stephen Bach attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. and worked in commercial design and illustration until 1999. He chose to devote himself to landscape painting thereafter. He is represented by galleries throughout the country, including the Miller Gallery in Cincinnati, Third and Wall Gallery in Seattle, and Signature Gallery in Tallahassee. He recently received a United Arts grant to fund a painting expedition in the Great Smoky Mountains, and will be showing the resulting work this fall at Bennett Galley in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Larry Moore is well known locally as an illustrator and plein air landscape painter. His work has won recognition and a gold medal award from the New York and Los Angeles Societies of Illustrators. His landscapes have won awards in the Carmel Art Festival (Best of Show in 2010, Best Oil in 2009), in Easton, Maryland (Best Pastoral, 2006) to name a few.

Americana's historians - its artists - capture a sport's colorful heritage in
THE STORY OF HARNESS RACING BY CURRIER & IVES
at the Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando
August 27- October 17, 2010
The Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando, Fla., presents The Story of Harness Racing by Currier & Ives, August 27 through October 17, 2010, featuring more than 30 rare framed original Currier & Ives lithographs. This show of original trotting prints celebrating harness racing's history and heroes is from the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame in Goshen, N.Y.
American printmakers Nathaniel Currier (1813-1888) and James Merritt Ives (1824-1895) captured, in an artful way, harness racing's important role in American culture and history. The lithographs in this exhibition depict great trotting horses, bucolic mid-19th century scenes, and comedic adventures that convey a picturesque view of Americana prior to the development of photography.
The History Center will complement the exhibition from its own collection with a display of items from Orlando's Ben White Raceway, reflecting the rich history of Central Florida's horseracing industry. Ben White Raceway, named after the patriarch of harness racing, Benjamin Franklin White, served as a top winter training center for harness-racing horses and, at its peak, was referred to as the colt capital of harness racing.

William Vincent Kirkpatrick: American Impressionist Exhibition
Opens July 16, 6pm, Maitland Art Center
July 16 - September 5, 2010
Florida Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. The artist studied at the Maitland Art Center (originally called the Research Studio) with Lois Bartlett Tracy, who was a Bok Fellow (resident artist) at the Research Studio in 1950, near the end of founder André Smith's life. Kirkpatrick traveled extensively and spent time in Taos, New Mexico, with his mentor, Alfred Morang, another noted American Impressionist. Although the American version of Impressionism was derived from the French style, it has some highly individuated qualities related to the vast American landscape and tradition. Like its French counterpart, it is characterized by bright colors, painterly textures, and everyday subjects. This exhibition comes to Maitland courtesy of Baterbys Art Auction Gallery
