Pleated Colored Paper Forms
Lewis Sprunger
Mixed Media
The three pleated-paper forms are folded from commercially available craft paper. Because the folding has to follow strict geometric lines, I wanted to see what would happen with the flowing designs on the paper itself.

Lectern Copper Plate
Lewis Sprunger
Watercolor
This is a watercolor of the enamel-on-copperplate that appears on the lectern. According to Esther Watson’s History of Westminster, the panel (and its 13 companion pieces on the pulpit, the pulpit and lectern paneling, and the communion table) were done by Aimee Gotham and Cliff Walker when the front of the sanctuary was reconfigured in the 1950’s.
Linear Meditation #1
Caroline Greger
Mixed Media
Limiting myself to just color and line, I explore how expressive those two elements can be. It becomes a meditative process to create an expressive balance. Often, I have an idea—of a meadow or of water—as I paint, with hopes of capturing something essential about what is in my mind. But mostly, I love the process of making these works.

Plant Silhouette #1
Caroline Greger
Mixed Media
I began these works with sample sheets used in the creation of art for the Ash Wednesday worship service. I painted over some of the marks made by Laurie Byers, Jacket Farah, and myself while enhancing other marks, and adding new ones. I then superimposed the silhouette of a plant branch that references life and resilience. The work speaks to me of the dynamic tension between the embrace of life and the acceptance of our mortality.

Westminster
Michal Haller
Watercolor
I painted this from a website picture, modified by my mid-March photos and Plein aire observations. I struggled mightily with the angles, the flowers, all of it. But I love the subject.

View from the vineyard above Orvieto, Italy. I painted plein air with a group of 12 painters, staying in an Orvieto convent for a week.
Sundarban Sunrise (Bangladesh)
Michal Haller
Watercolor
From a trip with my daughter through the mangrove swamps in Bangladesh. I finally painted this from the picture I took many years ago as our “bearer” was poling us through the swamp at sunrise.

Painters at the Paintout
Susan Larson
Watercolor
Hungry for social contact after a year of doing “art apart” our intrepid Studio Art group met for a socially distanced, very welcome, “plein interieur” session in the church sanctuary. This is my rendering of our poses…although in person, we all looked much, much better- more fit, younger, smarter, and especially HAPPIER! What fun!
Bouquet
Jackie Farah
Watercolor
This work started with splatters of pale colors and then took shape through negative painting and touches of color for details.
Still Corona
Jackie Farah
Watercolor
At the beginning of the lockdown, I produced a piece in oils called “Love in the Time of Corona.” We did not expect that a year later we would be mounting a second COVID show. In the meantime, I have been learning watercolor, so here is the current Corona offering for what I hope is the last virtual show.
Chickens Scratchin’
Jackie Farah
Pen and Ink
These hens were to be models for some illustrations I was painting for one of Jane Kurtz’s Ready-to-Read books. I fell in love with these girls as they are, each drawn with one continuous line—not lifting the pen from the paper.
Pears
Jackie Farah
Watercolor
One of the first pieces I did as I was learning from YouTube tutorials, I added layers of colors, details, and the ink outlines recently to make it more appealing—at least to me.

Waiting for Ahab
Sally Woolley
Oil
As she looks out at the stars from her roof-top copula she wonders when, or if, Capt. Ahab will return. In the book Ahab’s Wife the author, Sena Jeter Naslund, writes a transfixing description of the night sky. The constellations Draco, Casseopia, and Ursa Minor are as they appeared from Nantucket in Feb, 1855
