Seen and Liked. Kate Bright, In Deep

It's not too late to see the paintings of Kate Bright at Locks Gallery just on Washington Square.

The hanging of the show at Locks is perfect. Setting up a quiet mezzmerizing environment to view these incredibly intimate and transporting paintings. No humans or objects invade the space of the ripples and relection of these bodies of water. 

These paintings are not imitations of water. They are movies in your mind caught in a loop one feels they can remain in forever.
