Tulsa artist, Marjorie Atwood, is showing oil and resin on panel works from her “Stories of Love and Longing” series at JRB Art at The Elms, 2810 N Walker.

Showing with Atwood at JRB is Oklahoma City sculptor Tim Cooper. Cooper said the carved stone and wood works in his “Encircled” exhibit explore “his fascination with the cyclical, orbital nature of things.”

The two shows are highly recommended in their run through Sunday. Hours are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Call 528-6336, or go to www.jrbartgallery.com for information.

Art review: Paintings show 'bold expressions of women'

August 15, 2019 - John Brandenburg

Areas of vivid acrylic paint, sketchily outlined with charcoal, create a dynamic interaction, in paintings by Janice Mathews-Gordon.

The “bold expressions of women” in her “All My Sisters” paintings are on view at JRB Art at The Elms, 2810 N Walker.

Wonderfully energetic and effervescent, as well as semi-abstract, are the mixed media paintings in a second show by Kathy Rodgers Wilson.

The shows by Oklahoma City area artists Mathews-Gordon and Wilson are highly recommended in their run through Aug. 31.

Hours are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays. Call 528-6336, or go to www.jrbartgallery.com for information.
