"Bright Beginnings"

Artwork by Regina Petrecca

“Bright Beginnings”, a Vienna Arts Society Gallery theme show will open January 31 and run through March 9.  The words “Bright Beginnings” can be interpreted many different ways:  new life, a new year, daybreak, a fresh start are just a few examples.  No matter how these words are interpreted they almost always evoke feelings of hope and optimism. 

Approximately 20 artists will display their vision of the phrase “Bright Beginnings”.  Two of the artist represented will be Regina Petrecca and Marnie Lawson.  

Regina studied art years ago, but didn't pick up her brushes again till she retired.  She feels there's something magical about taking a totally blank canvas and transforming it into something that she (and, hopefully, others) enjoy.  She gets her inspiration from many sources, which explains her varied subjects.  She considers herself a contemporary realist with a love of color that shines through in all her paintings.

Winner of "Best Collaboration"( along with Sue Shaw, poet) at the recent Lorton Workhouse Art Gallery's juried "Poetic Art" show,  Marni Lawson is an award winning watercolor artist, teacher, and creative thinker. A signature member of the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, the Baltimore WC Society, and the Potomac Valley Watercolorists, Marni was awarded an Artist in Residency at Acadia National Park in Maine in the fall of 2011. She teaches "Creative Thinking Through Watercolors" both at the Vienna Art Society on Pleasant St. in Vienna, VA. as well as at her studio in Haymarket. http://www.marnilawsonwatercolors.com
