JRAL's Summer 2020 Members Judged Exhibit
"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words"
Our Summer 2020 JRAL judged exhibit held at Cultural Arts Center-Glen Allen Gumenick Gallery featured art with the theme of "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words", for which 34 member artists created paintings that reflect an inspirational quote, song, poem, memory or story that was meaningful to them. Our judge was Andre Lucero, who is an impressionistic oil painter based near Richmond, Virginia. Andre Lucero was trained in a traditional academic setting but in recent years has combined his love for the outdoors with his art. Completing more than 100 plein air paintings a year, his work includes landscapes, figures and still life painted from life. Learn more about Andre at www.andrelucero.com.

Please excuse any background noise or awkward transitions, and the operator's special apologies go to Linda Wolitz, as Andre's remarks did not get captured for her painting and award. 😞) |
