Jordan just finished a major exhibition at Marietta College in Ohio (just across the river from West Virginia) where 90 of her paintings were displayed. It included works from two years to five years ago.
“It was more of a retrospective,” she said. The work at Middle Street, she said, has not been shown anywhere around the area yet.
The exhibition opens Oct. 31 at the Middle Street Gallery. This group of figure paintings and landscapes, include scenes from Rappahannock County — from Amissville a farm scene, from Old Hollow and Ben Venue a landscape. There are also a few from nearby Culpeper County.
The show will be on view from Oct. 31 to Nov. 23, with an opening reception on Sunday, Nov. 2 from 2-6 p.m.
