The exhibition is displayed from May 17 through June 27.
Join us for the opening of the City of Solana Beach's new City Hall Gallery exhibition, "A Passion for Beauty," by Melinda Jennings.
"My passion for beauty borders on an obsession. Being an artist for me means being on the look out for beauty. It means being aware of patterns, textures contrasts and subtle color differences. Because I've learned to look very carefully when I paint, I look more carefully when I'm not painting. I'm not a thrill seeker in the usual sense of the word, but I can be thrilled by a tree in bloom or aflame with fall colors, by the sky full of clouds or even by the shadow made by light coming in my kitchen window. When you look for beauty, you find yourself living in an exquisitely beautiful world.
I struggle to communicate to the viewer what I see with my heart and feel with my eyes. I believe that any work of art is only truly completed when it ignites an emotional dialog between the artist and viewer. It creates that magical moment when the artist and viewer become partners in the mystery of fine art. A painting is an intimate invitation that the artist extends to the viewer to unite in artistic vision."
