McBride Gallery, 215 Main Street, presents “Abigail McBride: Poetry in Painting” as this year’s 31st Annual Annapolis Art Walk event. Meet the artist on August 19, 2021 from 5:00 – 9:00pm. A painting demonstration will be held that evening from 6:00 – 9:00pm.

Abigail McBride paints with the mind of a scholar and the heart of a poet. “The longer I paint the more amazed I am at how beautiful the world is,” she says. From the sun splashed outdoors to rich interiors her interests are broad in scope. While a consummate Cape School colorist, the draftsmanship in her work is born of an academic interest in the portrait and figure. She is part of a new breed of painters working from direct observation be it plein air or in the studio.
