NARROWSBURG, NY — There will be an artist’s reception for primitive landscape artist Cheryl Korb “Home For The Holidays” on Saturday, November 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. at The River Gallery, 8 Main St.
A self-taught artist from northeastern Pennsylvania, Cheryl Korb still lives on the farm where she was born. After raising a family of three children, she had time to pursue her dream, which was to make paintings inspired by Grandma Moses. She began painting the landscape she knows best: her own backyard.
Working in a tiny studio, formerly a closet off of her bedroom, with a tiny window, she uses one-hair brushes to create her paintings, which are full of particulars of country life. She takes a walk each morning and picks up details that she puts into her painting that day. Throughout these finely sketched works are people doing their chores, waving hello, sitting for a picnic, flying a kite, or riding a bike. There are animals playing together, horses in the fields or hitched to a wagon, chickens eating grain from the barnyard, kittens sleeping in a ball.
