Alliance Gallery is pleased to present Color Stories, an exhibition celebrating how color can tell a story, evoke a mood, or capture a moment. This show invites artists to explore their relationship to color and light, whether through vibrate palettes or pastel hues. We hope viewers take away thier own color story to share!
juror: Walt Bartman is founder and director of the Yellow Barn Studio and Gallery. Walt teaches landscape, still life and figure painting classes and workshops, both here in the DMV and abroad. His career spans five decades. He received a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Art History from American University and was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Belgium and Holland. His philosophy of painting centers on personal interpretation and the unique approach to the ordinary. For him, a great painting includes all the arts. He works with all levels of students and challenges them to ‘see’ more. Walt’s own work is representational in subject, but with an abstract approach to seeing and expressing his thoughts on canvas. He is a colorist and he loves to share his knowledge with his students.
