$400 Show - November 2024

 

Barbara K. Herring

Always the painter of solitary female figures in the urban jungle,

this one is more animated - and strange - than most.

I love her work

Herring appears to be painting a kind of dream world

for no one but herself

yet it fits right into Chicago imagism.

Yalena Potskevich

A transcendent painting of a wonderful view..

I’ve walked across that bridge many times.

Anna Cherkashina

What an ecstatic, celebratory piece.

Both Anna and Yelena were born in Moscow.

Hurray for our Russians!

Stephanie Weidner

Usually a painter of doors, Ms. Weidner has now revealed a magnificent space behind them.

Can’t recall ever seeing a painting of just a big, empty, glowing space.

Errol Jacobson

That fellow seems frozen in time.

An intriguing American scene painting 

done 70 years after that genre was marginalized.

Errol Jacobson

Something ominous here.

The flag is in distress.

How appropriate for last week’s election.

Mark Cleveland

A nicely composed little corner 

Phyllis Brodny

The Palette’s only gourdographer

recording the mysterious private lives of our vegetable friends.

Note: only got to see the large gallery today,

the smaller one was locked.
