Redbud Gallery will present the works of Houston-based artist Dixie Friend Gay in her exhibition, “Waltz With Water.” Gay’s work captures a particular moment: the instantaneous state of light and atmosphere, against the slower background of natural time. Painting with a deft, slightly brushy touch and with uncanny accuracy, she makes you feel that the time of the picture is still happening. Gay attends to the world she depicts with a tenderness that is surprisingly moving. It's rather like Henry David Thoreau's observations about the constant cycling of nature, how the falling and death of leaves becomes the beginning of new life, and that nothing, in fact, is ever lost.
Following the opening reception, the exhibition will remain on view through July 28. Redbud has sanitized the gallery, will limit attendance, practice sensible distancing, and have masks on hand for their visitors. The opening reception date is subject to change due to state requirements.
