Recently, I went down to Philadelphia's Locks Gallery to talk to Liz Osborne about her beautiful show of small watercolors. It turns out that this watercolor show is the 2nd exhibition Liz has had a Locks Gallery this year. Back in March she exhibited her first group of wholly abstract images. It's required a lifetime of observation to enable this leap. Liz Osborne's art is rooted in nature and these wonderful watercolors are a window into her relationship with this world. Truly her art gives us what Baudelaire called "Luxe, Calme et Volupté", luxury, peace and pleasure. She takes the beauty of the world and transcribes it into an equally beautiful art.
