In the Kitchen Friday, March 3

Click to see larger view of Fried Green Tomatoes with a Side of Black Chicken by Mara Hincher
In Thursday's Clarion Ledger Sherry Lucas says, "The art train's still chugging Friday night, moving over to Vicksburg for the popular theme show at the Attic Gallery. Artists raided the fridge, the grocery and their own imaginations to whip up something fun for In the Kitchen. It could be a potboiler, a dough boy, a patron saint of the kitchen tribute in a sardine can. You'll eat it up with a spoon."

Join us from 7 PM to 9 PM and meet many of the artists.

  50th Anniversary Artist Gallery #1 Dale Rayburn & Mamie Joe   Autumn Memories - Dale Rayburn Monotype on paper 18" x 18" $750 Autumn Memories by Dale Rayburn "Throughout my career, I have had a propensity toward painting older people. They tend to show life experiences on their faces and they have great stories to tell, as well. As I have grown older myself, I have painted several self-portraits. This piece was inspired by the fact that I am so grateful for being able to do what I love. Making art as your vocation, in my opinion, has to be one of the most rewarding endeavors anyone could possibly wish for."     Show of Grace - Mamie Joe Acrylic on paper 15" x 15" $550  SHOW OF GRACE mixed media on paper by Mamie Joe "My 103 year old mother fell three times several months ago, and by some miracle, she did not break any bones.

His paintings of Vicksburg houses and scenes and his still lifes turned the subjects into textures, into shapes and into colors. When I would look into his work, the surface would reveal layer after layer. Where you might expect one color, there were many, all with something to say.
