Flowers and landscapes in fall and spring are featured in watercolorist Vi Shipley’s exhibit at the West Side Presbyterian Church gallery this month.

Landscapes for this show were painted in Bergen and Passaic counties and the flowers plein aire in her garden.

“I’ve hung some of my favorite pieces,” said Shipley. In choosing flowers to paint, she is attracted to good form and shape of the blooms. Her garden is filled with lilies and Rose of Sharon. On display are: “My Garden,” “Spring Iris,” “Orchid,” “Summer Florals,” “Trumpet Lilies,” “Stargazers,” “Peony,” “Day Lily,” “Autumn Bouquet” and “Delphinium.”

Lovely local scenes include: “Willows,” “Heading South,” “Pine Tree at Sunrise,” “Birches,” and “Dogwood in Spring.”

In choosing a scene to paint she explains, “I like water, for the reflection. It makes for a more interesting painting.” She calls watercolor more spontaneous than oils – “I like the color you get with watercolor.”
