PARKLANE OFFERS A EUROPEAN TOUR:

Lena Leitzke Venice

First stop Venice, as Lena Leitzke explores the always enchanting canals and beautiful architecture of this timeless city in her show Eternal Mystery. Lena sings the song of perfection that is Venice with her oil and acrylic paintings that take you to a place of mystery and romance, of elegance and antiquity, of light’s reflections on color splashed movement through water, and of shadows cast in secret places. Lena’s paintings take you on a journey you never tire of gazing upon and visiting time and again.

INTRODUCING: Karen Dedrickson

Painting a landscape’s beautiful moments is my inspiration. I look for the patterns of light and the shapes of shadows, especially a day’s beginning or end. The challenge is to paint simply and with freshness that conveys my emotions for these transient moments. The places chosen are ordinary, just off the road or from around my neighborhood. It is the hour I chose that make these arenas extraordinary. My reward is capturing the ephemeral with paint.

For something completely different I paint birds in the style of Sumi-e maybe with a mix of pastel. Their simple shapes and attitudes with limited color come from my intuition. A unique prize seems to land, like these birds, when I get out of my way. It still surprises me, results are a humble release of play and skill.
