EXHIBIT: Classic Beauty

by

comment

By the looks of her realistic oil paintings, Diane White likes some pretty darn tasty things. The Pittsburgh artist — whose works are currently being showcased at Elder Gallery — creates still lifes of high-piled coffee cups from namely chains, Chinese takeout (see "The Fortune," pictured) and more traditional seen-on-canvas items, like fruits and vegetables. The only thing missing is the smell.

Opening reception on May 6, from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. Exhibit continues through May 31. Elder Gallery, 1427 South Blvd., Charlotte. 704-370-6337. www.elderart.com.
