RIVAH COUNTRY PAINTERS
|
|
| |
 The Rivah Country Painters represent a group of artists who live primarily in the Middle Peninsula Northern Neck. For over fifteen years our group has met every Wednesday to create, share, and critique individual artwork. The members of our group have diverse interests, talents, and levels of experience and training. Although our group has benefited from the expertise of instructors and guest artists over the years, the greatest opportunity for growth has come from the weekly sharing among members.
The Rivah Country Painters have shown their work in recent years at local festivals (RivahFest, Locust Grove Wine and Art Festival, Rappahannock River Run and Craft Festival), in various restaurants and local businesses, in county libraries and in local art studios. Although our group uses a variety of mediums, watercolor seems to be the medium preferred by most members. The scenery and people of the Middle Peninsula Northern Neck provide most of the subject matter for our artwork. However, some of our artists use their painting to share their experiences from their trips across this country and around the world.
