Landmarks of Cincinnati: Deborah Ridgley - Visit the Collection In Person Or Virtually

Presented by Woman's Art Club of Cincinnati Foundation at The Barn (Woman's Art Club Cultural Center), Cincinnati OH

Nov 13 - 18 2020
Landmarks of Cincinnati: Deborah Ridgley - Visit the Collection In Person Or Virtually

Artist Deborah G. Ridgley exhibits “Landmarks of Cincinnati”, a panorama of her plein-air oil paintings of favorite Cincinnati scenes, including the Little Miami Bike Trail, Hyde Park, Findlay Market, and the urban core. Virtual viewing available.

We invite the Queen City community to attend one of the region’s most unique oil-painting exhibitions.

Artist Deborah G. Ridgley features Landmarks of Cincinnati, a collection of plein-air oil paintings of various sites throughout the Cincinnati area.

“Living in the area for over six decades, I am continually surprised by the numerous extraordinary landmarks, museums, parks, picturesque and charming areas of our beautiful and historic river town, the Queen City,” said Ridgley.

Ridgley, a 30-year Kenwood resident, fostered inspiration from her 2019 exhibition titled Portrait of Cincinnati, which included a collection of oil paintings of more than 60 faces of Cincinnatians. During the sittings, the artist asked about what they enjoyed most about the town. Most responses involved the skyline, museums and the parks.

“Last year’s exhibit was a springboard for this exhibit,” said Ridgley, a Signature Member of the Woman’s Art Club of Cincinnati.

She said her biggest challenge was painting on-site (plein air.)

“You are only good for two hours. The light changes too much. I have to get in and out, make a few oil sketches and complete the painting in the studio. If you painted all day in the same spot you would be chasing the light,” she said.

Ridgley’s exhibition features oil paintings of the Little Miami Bike Trail, Hyde Park, Findlay Market, and the urban core, among others.

The Opening Reception takes place Nov. 13 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.
