Gwinnett Daily Post
The oldest all-volunteer portrait art organization in the country has work on display at Gwinnett's Pinckneyville Park Community Recreation Center.
The Portrait Society of Atlanta's fall juried exhibit includes first, second and third place oil portraits as well as a piece titled "Raine" by Anna Gillon, who received the member's choice award. From a portrait of a baseball pitcher throwing a pitch to a young girl playing a violin, the pieces exhibited capture face and features. In one portrait, a girl grasps a young woman's necklace as it hangs around the woman's neck. The Portrait Society of Atlanta's exhibit can be viewed from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays through Jan. 23. For more information on the exhibit, call 770-417-2200 or visit www.portraitsocietyofatlanta.org.
