New work by Lauren Betty is in da house!

Blue Ribbon 
48”x72”
Fabric, paper, acrylic, patina

Strange name for a horse I thought, as I was putting my foot into the stirrup to begin my 8 day backcountry trip into the Teton Wilderness.  As sure footed as her name, this 16.1 hand draft/ cross, flea bitten grey mare took me on an epic adventure through Wyoming that I will never forget. With her guidance, I traveled close to 100 miles in backcountry, slept under the stars, escaped into wild wilderness territory that ,maybe,  20 people see in a year.  Untouched waterways, waterfalls, extreme altitudes, plateaus, rock cliffs, mountains and meadows.  This painting was created in the days after my return to the studio, and it could only be of the magestic creature, my sure footed trail partner, Blue Ribbon.

The Space Between I
48 x 72 acrylic on wood panel.
By Gallery COR artist L Rowland

We know that nature is an interconnected web of interaction and existence. Magnolias are the matriarchs of the forest. They are the first angiosperms / flowering plants and support myriad species like cardinals, who eat the protein rich seeds and shelter in the strong branches of magnolias. But the connections in life are so much deeper than this.
Physical bodies like trees, birds, humans, and even stones are not solid, but matter suspended in a dynamic and complex energy field. This is not conjecture, this is proven. All things are connected. All things interact. All things are energy.
In this painting I present multiple categories of connection. The magnolia’s strong and glorious boughs and flowers have a symbiotic connection with the cardinals. I also gave the cardinals auras in this painting to suggest their energy field and sentience. The iridescent marbling which reoccurs in my work, represents life force, the living, pulsing energy of life.

Over the Top Meadows
40x40 acrylic on wood panel

Ever since taking on The Pisgah Project, I’ve been surprised, even astonished, by how many spots around Asheville and the surrounding areas offer unique views and perspectives of Mt. Pisgah. Recently I was invited to the home of a client on what used to be a dairy farm. The former pastures are now yards and homes, young trees taking root, and in the distance, this mountain that changes very little in our lifetimes. I love these unexpected glimpses of her, seeing her different ridges and wrinkles. She’s so gorgeous!

To Kneel in the Grass 16x42 acrylic on wood
This painting had me thinking about Pulitzer Prize winning
poet, Mary Oliver’s “The Summer Day,” and her revolutionary,
yet gentle permission to just stop and look - observe. She
writes about falling into the grass, kneeling there, learning how
to be idle and blessed. That’s the feeling I wanted this painting
to hold.

SAGE WIND RISE
48” x 36”
Fabric, paper, acrylic, rust

Where the sage winds rise above the Appalachian foothills I call home, this painting holds the feeling of living close to nature, and watching the seasons shift and transform the hillsides.

New incredible photorealistic work by Jenna Kesgen is at gallery COR!

“Maximum Presence”
36” x 36” oil on canvas
Sale price: $5000

Description:
A painting of East Fork in early July, this work invites the viewer beneath the evergreen canopy of Rhododendron maximum. By layering foliage and softening the distant forms, the painting recreates the feeling of stepping into one of the dense groves for which this native shrub is known. Twisting branches and overlapping leaves create enclosed passages that can feel almost otherworldly, while the shrub’s dense growth transforms the forest floor, creating a unique environment where few other plants can flourish.
At the height of summer, pale flower clusters emerge from the deep greens as vital gathering places for pollinators, filling the grove with a fleeting celebration of bloom. This painting is an invitation to slow down, enter that hidden world, and experience the sense of wonder found within one of the Southern Appalachians’ most iconic forest communities.
