Artist of the Month Exhibit

November Artist of the Month, Gayle Merrill’s exhibit will run through November 30. Gayle lives in Gloucester, Virginia, on the North River. She enjoys painting with the abundance of light in her home studio. Gayle’s oil paintings have an emphasis on light and color. Boats, landscapes, water reflections, flowers and sunlight are her main themes. A strong influence on her work has been Edward Hopper, whose favorite subject was “to paint sunlight on the side of a house” with some of his main subjects being seascapes and rural landscapes. Also, the colors and layers of paint that the impressionist, Claude Monet, used are important in her work.
