The images above provide proof positive that its never too late for a talent to be nurtured. Alacrity has returned to college to pursue a BFA! The images above are but two of his works currently on display on the second floor of the Library Art Gallery. The paintings have a wonderful sense of whimsy! The viewer is drawn in by the shapes and colors, and enchanted by the juxtaposition of the subjects. Two jelly beans and a fork! The fork just lies there, defeated by the tiny treats! The toy bear perched on a bowl of eggs and an lemon is delightful. How often does a still life painting make you smile? I'll leave you to discover the magic of the toy ducks in person.
As charming as the images are, there is a lot of skill involved as well. Creating an evocative image from a fork and jelly beans is not easy. So, Alacrity succeeds on several fronts; pleasing images, excellent skills, and a sense of wonder. Be sure to visit the gallery, its on Info Island.
