Judy Rentner, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For the month of October, Asheville Gallery of Art will highlight the work of Judy Rentner in<em> Nature\u2019s Gems<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Rentner is known for her rich and colorful oils, which she applies to the canvas using a palette knife. \u201cI have always been drawn to paint with bright, rich, warm colors which our landscape reflects, and I have found that using the palette knife enables me to do that more effectively,\u201d says Rentner. The bright colors of the autumn season lend themselves to Rentner\u2019s signature boldness. \u201cAt the peak of the fall season in the mountains, the colors seem like shimmering precious gems: topaz, sapphire, rubies, amber,\u201d she says. \u201cNot that I can totally capture their beauty, but I can express in oil paint the joy these scenes create in us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The gallery will host a reception for<em> Nature\u2019s Gems<\/em> on Friday, October 7, from 5\u20138 p.m. \u201cOf all the seasons, fall is my favorite,\u201d says Rentner. \u201cTo me, it represents the stage in life where we are more mature, more confident with who we are and what God intended us to be. As we approach winter, we begin to understand more clearly what is important and shed those things that aren\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Asheville Gallery of Art is located at 82 Patton Avenue in Asheville, across from Pritchard Park.
