plained. That texture, he feels, is “staccato, a smattering of light. This medium allows me to try to capture that — at least.”
Mr. Heus’s show, his first in the county since 1985, will be 44 paintings and etchings, mostly done around the county, though a few are scenes of coastal South Carolina. It includes a series of a dozen paintings he has done during the months he has lived in Old Hollow. Those works include the Covington River and various places in and around the hollow.
For Mr. Heus, living in Rappahannock County has been a tremendous bounty for his artistic urges. In Old Hollow, for example, “go outside .. . it’s right outside my doorstep.”
And during the past week, with the clear fall skies and brilliant sunshine playing against the lush hues of the autumn leaves, “how beautiful it’s been, ... if you’re involved with a visual medium.”
Mr. Heus described his painting style as continually evolving, “a contingency. You never stop — it keeps expanding. The more you do the more you see you have to do.”
As for his painting, he added, “it speaks for itself — I hope.”
Mr. Heus’s show will open at the Rush River Company on Saturday, Nov. 10 with a reception for the artist from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. The show marks the first exhibition at the store by its new owner, Mary Simmons. The paintings will hang through the end of November.
