Your selection for the People’s Choice this month is Chad McLaren’s aptly titled painting, “Breathtaking.” Chad immediately directs your attention to the tranquility of this face as you imagine the feel of cool water enveloping skin. The stark contrast of light and dark provides subtle drama with reflections from the surface against the inky blackness below. You may even be tempted to take a breath and close your own eyes to fully immerse yourself in the refreshing scene. Chad loves to involve the viewer as part of the total art experience. He provides multiple opportunities both in person as well as virtually to watch him work in real time.
Come by the PAPA Gallery to see your favorite choice as well as a gallery full of fresh works in our new fall show. We hope you drop in for a new art fix because it is our pleasure to simply enjoy art with you.
