Western Pa. landscapes featured in BC3 instructor's exhibit
More than 20 Western Pennsylvania landscapes will be displayed in “Recent Paintings by David P. Ludwick,” the fine arts instructor’s first exhibit in Butler County Community College’s Mary Hulton Phillips Gallery since 2011.
The 68-year-old of Shenango Township, Lawrence County, has taught introduction to art, sculpture, creative thinking, drawing and painting since 1998.
A reception for Ludwick will coincide with the opening of his show from 1 to 7 p.m. Friday at the gallery on BC3’s main campus in Butler Township.
Ludwick’s exhibit, created with knife, brush and finger techniques since January, marks the first time he has presented his impressionistic works on double-thick gallery canvas rather than within traditional frames.
Twelve of the acrylic or oil impasto pieces in “Recent Paintings by David P. Ludwick” are small and nine are large, including the one named “Time Peace, Guys Mills, Spring,” in which puddles of morning sunlight submerge a trail flanked by old-growth hemlocks and elms.
Other works include “Ethereal in Oil Impasto,” “Winter Whisper,” “June’s Awakening,” “Snowsong,” “Verdant Breeze” and “Serene Summer.”
Ludwick’s show will continue through Oct. 26.
BC3’s fall student art showcase will follow in November.
