My Own Little Gallery Hosts 'Art with Emotion: Faces and Figures' Exhibit

From My Own Little Gallery: Discover the highly expressive ways three artists interpret the human face and figure—mystical, realistic, and abstract—in “Art with Emotion: Faces and Figures,” a new exhibit at My Own Little Gallery, at Mainstream Commons (formerly Franklin Antiques Center), 142 Main Street in Nyack, New York. (A free opening public reception takes place Saturday, June 17th from 4 to 7 p.m.)

As this new gallery show opens, with the work of three extraordinary artists: Charis Carmichael Braun, Lauren Rudolph and Elaine Schloss, it offers a unique, fun opportunity. Lauren Rudolph, talented portraitist has created a “poster” outline of the Glinda, Good Witch of the North, from the Wizard of Oz. Viewers are invited to color in the poster for an opportunity to win a delicious dinner for two at Temptations Cafe, a lovely, local, family restaurant with a menu that ranges from great burgers and salads to intricate, sometimes exotic culinary offerings. In addition, 3 selected applicants under the age of 10 will be awarded one of the delicious ice cream treats the Cafe is famous for.

Entrants will pick up a copy of the poster from Temptations Cafe, (80 Main St.) and deliver the finished piece to “My Own Little Gallery” (142 Main St.) to register. They can use any art material they choose (paint, pencil, digital means, etc.) ... or create at the Gallery with crayons and markers provided.

Posters will be available to color through June 16th, when posters will be collected from Temptations, and brought to My Own Little Gallery to be judged. The winner will be announced June 17th 4-7 PM, at the RECEPTION for “Art With Emotion: Faces and Figures . The reception is free and open to the public. Light Refreshments will be served. So visitors to the gallery will have the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful art exhibition, try their hand at art ... and win a tasty prize to boot. Entrys will remain on display at both Temptations and My Own Little Gallery until the end of June.
