Jim Bobick Oils Exhibited at Cloud 9 Restaurant

Rehoboth’s Cloud 9 Restaurant will play host to Still Life, an exhibition of new oil paintings by New York City based painter Jim Bobick.

Jim is originally from Washington, DC and spends his summers in Rehoboth Beach where he has been showing his work since 2004.

The paintings in this exhibition are a series of life studies focused on a broad range of colors set on a neutral back ground to emphasize the importance of light and shadow in his work. He uses various compositions of sea shells and flip-flops as his subject matter.

An opening reception for the artist, which is open to the public, is Sunday, May 20 from 3–5 p.m. The exhibition will run through June 13.

A Fascination for Orchids at the Peninsula Gallery

A Fascination for Orchids, a solo exhibition by America’s foremost orchid artist, Patricia Laspino, will open at Peninsula Gallery with a reception to meet the artist from 5-7 p.m. on May 26. The exhibit will run through June 26.

"My mission," says the artist, "is to create imagery and events in which the fusing of art and science will reveal previously unseen beauty, in order to create a sense of wonder, instill a purpose of discovery and appreciation, and inspire action to further the long term stewardship of the natural world."

Laspino’s work will include original oil paintings on canvas as well as artist enhanced giclee prints. Her paintings can be found in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution at the National Museum of Natural History and the American Orchid Society.

Peninsula gallery is located at 520 E. Savannah Rd in Lewes, just across the canal bridge.For additional information, call 302-645-0551.
