Erica Child Prud’homme: W a t e r P a i n t i n g s
April 26 - May 21, 2005
Opening reception: Thursday, April 28, 6-8 p.m.
Natural forms have always been the genesis for Erica Child Prud’homme’s work. In the summer of 2004, she participated in Art and the River, a celebration of the Housatonic River initiated by the Sheffield Art League in Massachusetts. Studying, sketching and painting the river began a fascination with the forms and colors of water, its eddies and swirls, its fogs and ice. Her paintings of a limpid pond, a billowing wave, the flow around rocks and over falls, suggest both depth and energy.
Prud’homme usually starts with pencil, charcoal or watercolor sketches done at the site; sometimes these are supplemented by photographs, but visual memory is her most important tool. These paintings are primarily in oil, though she has used acrylic, pastel, watercolor and charcoal for finished work as well, using fingers as well as brushes.
Water Paintings is the fifth solo show for Erica Prud’homme at Blue Mountain Gallery.
In the past year, she has shown at the Attleboro Museum, the Geoffrey Young Gallery, the Sheffield Art League and the Norman Rockwell Museum in Massachusetts; at Yale’s Sterling Library, the New Arts Gallery and West Wind Studio Gallery in Connecticut; and at the Penobscot Marine Museum in Maine. Her work is in many private collections.
