The Gatehouse in July
"Lady Legs and Other Paintings,
" on display at The Gatehouse in July.
A moody blonde stands by an idling truck ready to run with the circus. A dainty yellow couch floats in expressive color space. A wild heart with wings strains against the nails pinning it down from freedom. Red suitcase packed, a lady marches forward. Two lovers tangled in the sheets sleep in while the Indian Ocean beckons outside. A woman in polka dots stares you down, doing God knows what in the guest bedroom.
These are the musings of painter Andrea Newland.
After graduating from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design she came up with the concept for Lady Legs. Often drawing from the female form, it is as if the artist was taking snapshots and the camera fell to the ground still clicking. Without a face to determine what the subject is doing, how can we interpret their body language? Who is she? Where is she going, and how can she look so good doing it? With vibrant colors and luscious brush strokes, Newland creates narratives through painting that make you want to step inside the frame and assess the situation.

Socks for Siberia
Dear friends,
Come on out to a great event, tomorrow, Saturday June 9, 2012 called Socks for Siberia. It is an organization that raises money for orphans in Russia. There are some awesome raffle prizes. Like a limo ride for two to the red sox/yankees game with $100 to spend at the park. Along with a full Saturday of music, games for kids, prizes (and it's at a brewery ; )) I am donating a framed print of my Celtics painting to the silent auction. It's a steal! So, I hope they win tomorrow and no one buys it and then smashes the glass and burns it because they have anger management issues and don't know how to treat art properly.

This is what you could hang in your living room/bachelor pad/sports den/sex cave.
