Pat Whittle
32nd Annual Juried Show - Strathmore Arts
January 26 - March 2
Pat Whittle's painting "Red Sky" has been juried into the 32nd Annual Juried Show at Strathmore Mansion in Rockville, MD. Her painting is well suited to the show PRISM: Connections in Color. In her entry she explains "As an artist and concerned environmentalist I both want to celebrate the landscape and warn of its current poor trajectory. The unnatural flow of the river, the solid red sky (danger), and the lack of clarity in certain elements of the painting I hope come together to generate a sense of unease that something is not right."
