“Images of Summer Light”
Featured in July
Each summer Bishop’s Stock features artists who do not regularly show throughout the year. Many of these talented artists have connected with us through Paint Snow Hill, our abstract show or just during their stays on the Eastern Shore. In July we are featuring paintings by Jan Crooker. Those who have seen her paintings during Paint Snow Hill will recognize her love of light and color. She is calling her show “Images of Summer Light” with all of the paintings reflecting light we experience during long, lazy summer days.

New Work by Angela-Herbert-Hodges
Angela Herbert-Hodges works in watercolor and mixed media with a range of subjects from personal interaction to things encountered in everyday life. She does representational as well as abstract paintings which appear to evolve as she creates them. This show includes larger “conversational” pieces as well as small mixed media collages illustrating the varied ways she mixes watercolor, gouache, and found objects. Her work shows a full range of her use of texture, color and mixed media. On October 19 & 20 Angela will teach a 2-day workshop on collage while she is Bishop’s Stock’s October Artist-in-Residence.

Artist of the Month Scot Dolby

Scot Dolby
This month Bishop’s Stock will be featuring one of our very first artists we represented in 2003, Scot Dolby. It seems perfect to have Scot’s work as show 101 as we move into year 10. Scot is known for his tonal palette and linear compositions. This particular selection of paintings includes Eastern Shore architectural icons and landscapes. Scot’s love of fly fishing also is also showing in this work. Those familiar with his mixed media presentations painted on cigar box tops will enjoy seeing some new work as well. This is Scot’s 3rd show with us. His work is always in our inventory.
Artist of the Month Ann Hayden

Ann Hayden
In 2009, Ann Hayden waved goodbye to midtown Manhattan and a creative director career in advertising, to paint full time on Virginia’s eastern shore. As featured artist at Bishop’s Stock for October, Ann’s new work, a collection named Flyby, focuses on birds in flight.
“Lately, I’m caught up with the sculptural quality of the birds I see around our house. Osprey, heron, gulls…as well as enormous flocks of geese, blackbirds, etc. They can be so sleek, other times so heavy. Their shapes are endlessly fun to paint, full of curves and surprises.”
Ann grew up in Buffalo, New York, where the nearby Albright Knox Art Gallery was full of American abstract art. Experiences of running through that gallery as a kid, with huge Klein’s and Motherwell’s and Clifford Stills, are creeping into her painting, especially evident in the use of black, strong colors, and plenty of open air.
This will be her Ann’s fifth featured show since 2009, and her debut at Bishop’s Stock.
