Arlington, Virginia – Gallery Underground’s Focus Gallery in October presents Gratitude, a solo show by Barry Barnett Keith. Keith’s solo exhibition, Gratitude, explores a myriad of subject matter from landscapes to superheroes in a color palette outside of Keith’s usual tone. Typically, Keith is a fast plein air painter, but the pieces in Gratitude are slowed down and detailed. His new paintings still carry over themes from his solo show last year at Gallery Underground, Water, but they also explore new themes for the artist.

Paintings such as “Brooklyn Stroll” and “Harper on the Rocks” are landscapes that delve into fantasy. “The Great Luzita” is a traditional portrait of a child’s intriguing face. “Windy Day” captures movement withing a landscape, while “Autumn” represents Keith’s favorite time of year. Gratitude represents Keith’s love of painting and love for all subject matter.

Additionally, our Main Gallery features new works by our gallery members, in media including oil, acrylic, pastel, watermedia, sculpture, glass, and ceramics.
Gallery Underground, the juried gallery of the Arlington Artists Alliance, has been named our region’s “Best Art Gallery” in Northern
