Gifts of Art Exhibit...Kay Tiedt

Kay Tiedt's work in the Gift's of Art Exhibit at the U of M Hospital, are autumn landscapes all painted in pastel. Her small studies translate well into her larger studio works. Shown below are some examples of her work that you will see in the exhibit. You might be wondering by now how many paintings in total are there between us Six Women Artists...I believe the number is somewhere around sixty paintings. This exhibit is also an educational one...demonstrating how a plein air (on location) study can be used to paint a larger studio painting.
The shows are all up, and they look fabulous!  Information about the exhibits is available on our website: http://www.med.umich.edu/goa/exhibits.htm
