Guided by seven renowned collections and descriptive commentaries, participants will travel around the world and back. Sweig’s first international trip was an Art History Tour with The Bishop’s School in 1984. Since then, she broadened her techniques to draw the viewer in for their own imaginary and sensory experience. Sweig will present four themed demonstrations during assigned gallery hours: ‘En plein air’ inside and out at St James Church, Greek Skyrian equine watercolors, travel sketchbooks and an in-progress oil painting of Meteora, Greece. (See websites for demo schedules.) 1) Around the World in 80 Paintings: 2012. Eighty watercolors and oils represented the journeys encompassing the world by Sweig including California, Hawaii, South America, Europe and Egypt. 2) Gyotaku: 1988-2010. Over these years, Sweig focused on the legendary Japanese art (gyo = fish, taku = hand imprint). Ink is applied to the subject, rice paper laid and pressed by hand. A mirrored image reveals art from sea horses, Garibaldi, octopuses, flying fish to a Great White Shark. 3) Touch the Ancient Skyrian Horse: from 2006- Life-sized works revere these small horses with a monumental past. As the Parthenon’s frieze portrays Alexander the Great using them in battle, she fused stone pigments and oils on canvases. Viewers are welcomed to feel the texture! Her current project, a watercolor book, is dedicated to The Sylva Project, an equine breeding program in Corfu, Greece. 4) In Bloom: 2011- 21. Inspired by ‘plein air’ venues, garden gems come to life from Monet’s wisteria French lavender, California poppies, tropical birds of paradise to the hollyhocks of Santa Fe, New Mexico. 5) Finding Venetian Angels: 2020. Twenty oil paintings depict angels in human form, Byzantine mosaics and spirited imagery collected by Sweig during a 25 day quest in Venice, Italy. 6) In the Air: from 2018. Look up! This uplifting collection includes hummingbirds, the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, a village in the clouds of Provence and central Greece’s Meteora, six Eastern Orthodox Monasteries built on immense natural pillars called Meteoras. (suspended in air). 7) La Jolla Treasures, 2014- present: Featuring Sweig’s hometown, return to admired scenes captured in oil paintings from the La Jolla Cove, The Shores, Windansea Shack, Goldfish Point, Shell Beach, The Bishop’s School and St James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church.
