Jury Competition 2023
2nd Fridays Art is pleased to announce our annual juried exhibition Nip it in the Bud.
Nip it in the Bud is not just another way to spell Flower. This annual juried competition tickles the senses presenting work in multiple media from over thirty artists. Attend this exhibit and enter a metaphorically scented garden of floral perspectives. The concept of flower here runs from the abstract to the sublime with color, drama & layers of meaning.
Still Life: Matisse’s Table Revisited. Oil on board. 17in. x 14 in. (framed).
I’m honored to be included in “Nip It in the Bud”, a metaphorical garden of floral perspectives, at the Santa Barbara Tennis Club. With a colder than normal winter and heavy rains, it’s time for a breath of spring! “Matisse’s Table Revisted”, is a contemporary look at color and form, inspired by one of the great “Fauvist” masters of the early 20thc. Reception: Friday. March 10, 4:30 - 6:00pm. Please visit if you’re in town, it would be great to see you! Otherwise, visit my website. Details below. Warm regards, Katherine Murray-Morse
