Carol Waite

Carol Waite developed an interest in art during private lessons as a young woman.  She majored in Fine Arts at the George Washington University and studied painting and drawing at the Corcoran Gallery.  At the Corcoran she worked mostly in oils and pastels, as well as ink and pencil, and enjoyed painting figures and portraits.

Originally from California, Ms. Waite was raised in post-war Japan.  Her parents were long-time residents there; her mother born there in 1905 to US missionaries.  Her father worked as an oil industry executive arriving in 1928.  After returning several years ago from a trip to Japan, Ms. Waite studied Sumi-e at the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria, VA., winning plaudits at an Art League show there.

Sumi-e paintings by Ms. Waite have been shown in a one-person show at the Ramp Gallery in McLean, Virginia and are on display at several restaurants in Arlington and Fredericksburg.  She is a member of the Brush Strokes Gallery in Fredericksburg.  Her paintings have been accepted by the National Sumi-e Society. at four juried shows.

First Friday Notes

As any of you who read this blog on a regular basis know, I don't usually comment on First Friday events after the fact. August openings bring some thoughts to mind though. First the down side and to me that was the noise in Market Square behind the museum. That vast masonry walled echo chamber was just unbearable for me. Although I didn't count heads, there couldn't have been much more than 30 people there when I wandered over. The museum's effort add an event to the line up of First Friday affairs is admirable  but they really need to listen to some of this stuff before they book it. To call it music is a stretch, sounded more like a train wreck to me.

On the upside, in my view, Robyn Ryan's new show at Studio A was refreshingly innovative. Robyn, known here best for her paintings of horses has added cats to her spectrum of subjects and in a very original 3 dimensional style. You really should see this collection. It will be on display at Sara Irby's Studio A for the rest of the month and there is even going to be a second reception on the 23rd. See the announcement for this past First Friday for details.
