Gallery 18 Artist’s Reception

The bold, vivid and graphic paintings of Amanda Lawford portray her vision of anonymous landscapes and cityscapes.  Sharp buildings, rooftops and water towers are bathed in bright color; a distant stormy skyline across a river is almost blurred in blue pastel shades,  a piece titled GW Views depicts a grey day in the city, and a long road in a wide field leads to a distant farmhouse that could be anywhere.  Whether from her imagination or from photographs these evocative acrylics represent windows on her view of our common surroundings.
