Just a Moment features work by painters Christina Penrose and Mary Powers-Holt. Each artist finds beauty in observation, drawing inspiration from the peaceful environments around them. Christina invites us into quiet still life paintings of moments on kitchen tables. Her blue and white dishware cradles bright roma tomatoes and peppers, the succulent colors make the viewer feel as though they’re sitting at the table with her. Mary gazes into the distance on cloudy waterfronts where boats sit waiting to be used. You can almost smell the grass drifting in the breeze in her paintings.
