Art @ Ella's Boutique: Seascapes, landscapes, and cityscapes, o my!

October ends with crisp, sunny days and ever-changing Fall colors: fiery oranges and reds, even violets. One day you'll see a tree afire with color, and the next it will be barren but beautiful. We love Fall's colors and energy as Halloween and the holidays approach us. Ella's is ending October with a stunning array of artwork by Ariel Frager, whose mixed media paintings explore seascapes, landscapes and images of crowded India streets. Photographs are mingled with oil paint and poured over with resin, creating a smoothed glassy layer that makes one feel as if they are looking through a window. Her brushwork plays tricks on the eye: where does the photo end, and the paint begin, or vice versa? Richly layered and textured beneath this sleek resin top layer, the depth and skill of Ariel's craft is best seen up close - come take a look this Thursday! We will be open until 10 pm.
