Miss Blue, oil on panel and framed to 15.75×19.5 inches, was just brought in by Cathy Martin for her exhibition:  All Roads Lead to the Mississippi.  Martin, a native of western Wisconsin and a working dairy farmer is inspired by the landscape in her surrounding community.  A self-taught painter, she embodies patience and perseverance, delineating every leaf, branch, and blade of glass in a straight forward, realistic manner.  Cathy Martin’s exhibition opens in the East Gallery on Saturday, 19th with an artist’s reception from 2 to 4 pm.  See more of Cathy’s thoughtful paintings here.
