||| FROM B.J. ARNOLD for ORCAS ISLAND ARTWORKS |||
The Orcas Island Artworks features charcoal drawings and a lime plaster panel by Ina Drosu through the month of August.
These works were generated from Ina’s extensive studies of the work of nineteenth century American painter James McNeill Whistler.
The plaster panel in this presentation is a painting made of pure Venetian plaster applied with various implements, compressed with trowel, burnished with stone, and finished with wax. Ina says, “I am profoundly drawn to the subtlety, quality, and history of this material and find it exquisitely evocative.”
The Artworks is open daily from 10 to 5.

I had the opportunity to talk to the artist today and it was interesting to hear her thoughts on both her art and here process
