Brush with Nature
Guild Hall

The annual spring show of the Oriental Brush Artist's Guild, "Brush with Nature", will be on view in the Guild Hall. This juried show will feature paintings that illustrate both traditional as well as modern brush technique. These brush strokes that seem so effortless represent hours of practice in order to capture the Zen-like tranquility of nature.It is the perfection of each stroke, and the feeling of each artist for the subject, that produces such a work of art.
