"Yellow" Show at PAAM

Today was the painting drop-off day for the first Members Open Exhibit at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, in Provincetown, Massachusetts. It's been a dark showery day, but walking into the light-filled room, which was filled with a brilliant array of artwork in all hues of yellow,made the day seem filled with sunshine! I' m entering a painting called "Late Sunday, La Sagesse", which can be seen on the website. It's a rather mysterious painting that shows the golden light of late afternoon at La Sagesse Bay, Grenada, as well as figures on the beach.

There will be a reception for the "Yellow" Show this Friday at Provincetown Art Association and Museum, from 6-8 pm. The paintings will hang through late May.
Check their excellent website www.paam.org for more information, as well as the summer class schedule. If you've got time and an interest in historic art of Provincetown and the Outer Cape, take a look at PAAM's past auctions. You can click on to paintings listed by artist's name and title. It also shows the winning bid. I feel that I've learned alot about 20th century artists who's names I've known, but was unfamiliar with their work. It's also an interesting chronicle of "old" Cape Cod.
