Joann Carhart Levy
The Vail Valley Art Guild continues its offerings into the summer with the Second Friday exhibit at its Eagle Gallery on Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. The gallery is located at 108 Second Street in Eagle and exhibits original art, ceramics, woodworking and photography.
The featured artist this week is Joann Carhart Levy, who is a co-founder of the Vail Valley Art Guild. She can often be found painting by the side of a stream or at a nearby ranch painting en plein air. She prefers to paint what she sees in front of her at the moment with perhaps a few added colors thrown into the mix. Many of her paintings have Rocky Mountain streams, ponds and rivers as a featured element. Her preferred mediums are pastel and oil, but she is known to take watercolors or acrylics along on occasion to achieve a more contemporary painting.
