Awarded PWS Signature membership

I had a wonderful time over the last few days meeting so many artists here in Pennsylvania. Thank you so much Debi for your hospitality and friendship. Yesterday was the opening of the PWS exhibition and the very special moment when I was awarded my very first signature membership


Here is the moment captured for me by John Walker. Thank you John:)


and with me beside my painting 'Identity'

 

It was very busy at the opening and quite difficult to wait for quiet moments to take photos but I hope the following pictures will give you a flavour of the exhibition and, if you live close enough, tempt you to go and see it in person. Click on each image to see a larger version.

    Congratulations Ona! To say the accolades are well deserved is an understatement! You have that rare gift of talent and skill AND vision! Your works go beyond merely being wonderful paintings; they explore and touch the emotions of the viewer and make them a participant as well as an observer! Thank you for sharing your gift with us!!

    Congratulation Ona from the bottom of my heart. Well deserved and so well done. The idea, the air, the space. I love the limited palette too.
    You inspired me to not to be afraid of large painting portraits; and, I am starting to paint one girl in a pretty much the biggest sheet I've ever painted.
    Congratulations and I can't wait to see your new masterpieces.
    Thank you,
    Irina
