Rappahannock artist Robin Purnell is having two exhibitions of oil paintings in St. Petersburg, Russia this spring. One show opened April 12 in Catherine’s Summer Palace in the City of Pushkin, and the other opens May 15 at the Dostoyevsky Museum in the author’s former apartment, located in the neighborhood that has changed little since Dostoyevsky's time.
Ms. Purnell will be showing a collection of paintings and drawings done in St. Petersburg over the last three years, plus four drawings and three paintings of her Rappahannock Portrait Series. The paintings are of Lorraine Duisit, Lyt Wood and Sally Nash. The drawings are of Tom Kspinola, Frank Reynolds, Janet Kerig and Caroline Pullen.
Ms. Purnell is a member of Middle Street Gallery.
In 1990, 300 geography students and 100 art students in Fauquier County’s four junior high schools worked together to create a 16-by-8 foot mural of the world. The painting titled “How Iri The World?,” was sponsored by the Fauquier Department of Parks and Recreation and shows problems and solutions around the globe from a teenager’s point of view. The Virginia Commission of the Arts and Fauquier businesses funded Artist-in-Residence Laurie Marshall of Washington, Va. to create the painting with the ninth graders.
After “How In The World?” travelled to the Fauquier junior highs, Fauquier High School, several Fauquier elementary schools, Rappahannock Elementary and Rappahannock High School, two nursing homes, a prison and Rappahannock's Child ('are and Learning Center, the painting is now being shown at National Geographic's Exhibition Hall in downtown Washington, D.C
