"an exhibition of new pastels and paintings"

ARTIST RECEPTION: Sept 16th from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

Multiple award-winning pastelist Barbara Benedetti Newton will team up with Jazz Guitarist and painter Neil Andersson for a show in Jeffrey Moose Gallery, 1333 5th Avenue, Seattle, to run from September 13th through October 30th. A reception will be held on Thursday, September 16th from 5:30 to 7:30.

Barbara Benedetti Newton is a prolific, award-winning artist in pastel and colored pencil and , recently, acrylic paint. Her specialties are landscape and still- life, though most recently her abstract styles have caught the attention of judges. Her precise photorealistic approach to colored pencil is contrasted with her more expressionist, gestural style as a pastel and paint artist. Barbara's subject matter stays close to her home in the Pacific Northwest, often featuring bucolic scenes of rivers, marshes and costal areas. More recently, these landscape subjects have become abstracted with exciting results.

In July, she received received an Honorable Mention Award from judge and president of the International Association of Pastel Societies, Maggie Price. Over the summer of 2008, Barbara juried/judged the Capitol City Visual Arts Exhibition, Olympia, the Kitsap Arts & Crafts Festival, Port Gamble, and the Western Washington State Fair Art Show, Puyallup. 2007 marked her induction to the Signature Member level of the Northwest Pastel Society.
