Waverly Artists Group

There’s nothing too ordinary about Waverly — it’s a nice studio all around. It’s bright, airy, and uncluttered. There are workshops on still life art, and classes on painting with charcoal, oil and watercolors. Some are offered for parents and their kids.
Although there’s a lot to see here, you go in knowing that there might be something different on display each time. During the time I visited, there was an equestrian theme amongst the various media of paintings, jewelry and sculptures. There were a few that were not, but that helped break up the showing into smaller visual bites. It was fascinating to see how the artists interpreted the theme. I spoke with the mother of one of the painters who said her daughter’s specialty was portraits, and you could see that reflected in the horses in her paintings. They did look like they were posing.
Each artist has a short little bio on the wall next to his or her works that describes the inspiration behind it. Most had a picture of the artist as well. It’s a nice intro or followup to what you’re seeing. Toward the back of the gallery is the work of one particular artist done on silk with liquid dyes. I’m not sure how you can make liquid dyes create something so detailed, but they were gorgeous.
