Theme for January: Reproductions of Masters Works

Starting about forty eight years ago, I learned to paint by trying to copy what I saw in books by people I did not know, and I continue to learn something every single time I try to reproduce a famous artist’s work. In fact, in this exhibit I will show the 2nd piece I ever painted, a copy of a work by George Innes. In spite of my MFA, I still love to attempt to do what the Masters did. And now I know who they are!! This First Friday, I will have several Degas’ and Van Gogh’s, a Cezanne, Manet, Modigliani, Sargent, Lautrec, Millet and more, 17 paintings to be exact, on display in my one-room gallery that changes exhibits every month. Seventeen paintings may not sound like a lot, but I really like to paint large canvases, so it fills up a room fast! My name is Jodie Marie Anne Richardson Traugott and I use all my initials as my gallery (jm-ART).

As I’m a part of Central Creatives, park towards the left of the Piano Mall and enter through the red door between Weaving Arts Guild and Penn Fair Golf. Then just follow the signs to the second floor; I am in the first suite on the right after you exit the stairs or elevator, #2700 which I share with Sylvia’s Art Spot. There’s plenty of free parking.

The exhibit runs from January 7th through the 25th. Covid masks are required for all visitors. Thank you for your cooperation.
