The Williamsburg Flower Show 2010

February 12 - March 20, 2010

In late winter every year several east-coast cities hold annual flower shows displaying garden designs, new plants, and gardening accessories. I have always felt they had less to do with gardening than with offering some encouragement that spring is really right around the corner. With that thought in mind we have done this occasional show of late winter show of flowers: Yes, Virginia, there will be spring.

This year we are calling it “The Williamsburg Flower Show 2010” and are featuring nine of your favorite artists doing their own version of floral, botanical, and still life paintings. Apryl Altman, Betty Babb, Fran Jones, Juliet Kirby, Jan Ledbetter, Polly Nunn, Sharon Parker, Patricia Rapoport, Karen Schwartz, and Monti Sikes will all be here with their finest pictures of just what spring holds for us. You may think of these artists as landscape or figure painters, but wait until you see what they do with flowers.

This show will be packed with great floral paintings including unbelievable miniatures by Betty Babb, bold colored acrylics by Monti Sikes, subtle contemporary watercolors by Patricia Rapoport, close-ups of flowers by Polly Nunn and many other paintings by the artists you know so well. This will truly be a preview of our coming spring.

“The Williamsburg Flower Show 2010” will run from February 12 – March 20 at Prince George Art & Frame, 107 Colony Square, Williamsburg, VA. It will open with a reception from 5:00 – 7:00 on Friday February 12, 2010. Please plan to join us for the reception and start working on your spring fever.
