Artist in the House Opening Reception for Bonny Lundy, "The Colors I See"

Bonny Lundy paints emotional experiences through the color and movement of watercolor. Creating beauty in nature is the promise of happiness.

“Creating beauty in nature is the promise of happiness.” With this statement of purpose, painter Bonny Lundy brings her work to Riverworks this month, moved by the belief that every painting is a world of new possibilities, both for the viewer and for the painter herself.

“’The Colors I See’ is a collection of watercolor and gouache paintings that represent a loosening or expansion of my insight, spirit, and style,” Lundy says. “Here, color is an emotional expression of experiences real and imagined.”

“The Colors I See” will be on display from Wednesday, April 22 through Sunday, June 21, 2026, at Locals Farm Market, 19929 Fisher Avenue, Poolesville, Md. This show is the 25th Riverworks “Artist in the House” exhibition to be featured at the historic Veirs-Stevens House at Locals.

An artist’s reception will be held at Locals on Sunday, April 26, 2026, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The reception is free and the public is invited to attend.

Riverworks co-founder Sandy Wright , who praises Lundy for the sense of hopeful remembrance in her work, is looking forward to seeing “The Colors I See” brighten up the walls of Locals as an unusually cold winter finally gives way to long-awaited spring.

“Bonny has been part of the area’s Countryside Artisans Tours for a while, and the gorgeous gardens and paths around her studio in Brookeville tell you a great deal about her artistic inspiration,” Wright says. “She’s also taught and painted out here in our area, so she’s a natural fit for a show at Riverworks.”
