Description
MMGalleries is presents Liquid Line, a solo exhibition of oil paintings by Connie Connally. Also on view in the salon is Lightscapes, a photography and mixed media exhibition by David Magnusson.

Connally's recent oil impressions of water landscapes painted 'en plein air' in Italy and Southern California, fascinate the viewer through the boldness of its colorful strokes and lines. Connally captures nature's rhythm and the many natures of water by building linear structures and flowing forms in a personal language of painterly marks. Her fluid and self-confident stroke makes the painting come alive with movement and energy, creating a rich dialog between the stillness of the canvas and the motion of the waves.

In Lightscapes, Magnusson employs the intentional use of soft focus. Using wide apertures to maximize the 'bokeh'-the quality of blur of the out-of-focus area of an image-he seeks images that offer a contrasting balance between light and form.
