With the advent of Memorial Day last week, full blown summer is just around the corner.  It seems like we never outgrow that old “schools out” feeling of the summer months!  We want to linger a little longer, explore, leave our stresses and cares behind like last year’s books.  The paintings of Brooklyn artist Charlotte Evans bring to mind those slow, carefree days spent running nowhere special.

 

As the artist recounts on her website, “resolutions for one painting might be found in another- a thread of narrative emerges.”  These painted memories could be glimpses of every summer, the scenes we see when we close our eyes mid-winter and dream of what is to come.
