DESCRIPTION:American Artist\, Christine Graefe Drewyer\, opens a new solo
  exhibit at Bucks County Gallery of Fine Art - New Hope PA.\nCocktail Re
 ception October 6\, from 2-5pm\nA new collection of oil paintings by awa
 rd winning American Landscape  Artist Christine Graefe Drewyer will be f
 eatured at Bucks County  Gallery of Fine Art from October 5 - 28\, 2012.
 \nThe solo show titled "In the Moment" is a metaphor for this body of  w
 ork that is intended to portray an immediate sense of time and place.\nI
 t is these very conditions which give the paintings their true  value. T
 his work evokes a connection to the land and imbues the viewer  with a s
 ense of timeless memory that can only be captured one moment at a  time.
 \nAs with many of her works\, Drewyer evokes a spiritual expression in  
 this show. &ldquo\;I wanted to emphasize the &lsquo\;oneness&rsquo\; of 
 life &ndash\; how we are all  so alike &ndash\; instead of focusing on o
 ur differences. Whether a landscape  is of Maryland\, Pennsylvania\, or 
 even France\, there is always something  that you can relate to\, especi
 ally with sunsets\, which have a universal  appeal no matter where you a
 re.&rdquo\; &nbsp\;The landscape is more than a  geographical location. 
 These pieces communicate a spirit of beauty which  is created by the way
  that atmospheric conditions and light brings life  to the paintings.\nD
 rewyer says that she likes to focus on moments in time with a lot of  he
 r work &ndash\; a sunrise or sunset or dusk\, those quick glimpses of  e
 veryday life &ndash\; and describes her work as representational and ton
 al  with a soft edge. &ldquo\;Original art has an energy all of its own\
 ,&rdquo\; she adds.  &ldquo\;When I paint\, it&rsquo\;s an actual place.
  I&rsquo\;m a realist in that way\; nothing  is added or imagined. I pai
 nt in plein air\, and then go back to the  studio to finish the painting
  because of the various layers and tones.&rdquo\;\nThe feature painting 
 titled "The Messenger"\, a 30 x 24 oil on canvas\,  congers an indicatio
 n of harmony between humankind and the natural  world\, instilling a fee
 ling of hope and connectivity.\nAlso included in the exhibit will be som
 e of Christine's still life and figurative paintings.\nChristine is a me
 mber of the following prestigious organizations:\nMember of the Washingt
 on Society of Landscape Painters\, American  Plains Artists\, Salmagundi
  Club NYC\, Oil Painters of America\, American  Impressionist Society\, 
 Associate Member of Women Artists of the West\,  and the National Associ
 ation of Professional &amp\; Executive Women.\nThe public is invited to 
 join us for a cocktail reception hosted at the gallery on Saturday Octob
 er 6\, from 2-5 pm.\nFor more details call the gallery 215.862.5272 or v
