Awakening at the Blue Moon
Continuing a fifteen year tradition, the Blue Moon has announced the opening of Murray Archibalds new show entitled Awakening. The show, which opens on Saturday, July 3, will be on display throughout the month of July. Included in the show is the 1999 SUNDANCE painting called Renaissance. As in previous years, the painting will be auctioned as a part of the annual Labor Day event at the Rehoboth Convention Center. Smaller versions of the original will be available as signed limited edition prints with 100% of the $45 price being donated to the SUNDANCE benefit. "Thats possible," says Murray, "because ProMarket in Washington gets all the printing donated." "Awakening is about reaching way down into our hearts," explains Murray, "and discovering who we are. For me, its about a deep coming out, in fact one of the paintings is called, The Second Coming Out. Its about reaching past all the definitions the world tries to impose on us and coming face to face with our realour spiritual selves." He goes on to say," the show uses the play of various patterns overlaying objects such as a rose, a ribbon, or a heart to, I hope, suggest the complex rhythms that underlay all of life. It also relies on humor, with a number of the paintings belonging to a series based on the patterns found on the Queen of Hearts." Murray is especially pleased to see the show come together because the majority of the paintings survived the fire at Nassau Gallery when it burned two weeks ago. "Its amazing." he said, "Brooks and Ed are not only rebuilding the gallerytheyve still found the time to frame the show."

"Not only was she a successful business woman," he says, "but she also captured the hearts of those who knew her."
