THE OXBOW - a new pastel painting by Marilyn Ruseckas

THE OXBOW - a new pastel painting by Marilyn Ruseckas

The Mad River Valley here in Vermont is blessed with the talents of numerous fine artists and craters – a few are worthy of national recognition. Marilyn Ruseckas, pastel artist of Warren, has earned such recognition. OUT OF THE ORDINARY, LANDSCAPES IN PASTEL is a new, one person showing of her work and is well worth going out of one’s way to see. The pastel works of Marilyn are best described as Modern Realism. Her work emphasizes expressive gesture and bold color relationships using landscape as design.

The Tea Store and Artisans’ Gallery on Bridge Street in Historic Waitsfield, Vermont are hosting the show beginning Saturday, October 3 and running through Sunday, November 1 during their regular business hours. A reception for the artist will be held on Saturday, October 3 from 5-7 pm. 802.496.6256 or www.vtartisansgallery.com for more information
