August 30th and 31st, Shō Art, Spirit, and Performance hosted Artist Ed Roach and his work for his show “Who Nude?” This show featured all nude works, mainly featuring large scale watercolour paintings. The reception was held on Saturday night to a great crowd.
A preview to the show was held for sketchers the Friday evening before for a life drawing sketch night with the amazingly flexible Stella.
Thanks to Ed for sharing his awesome work with the Shō crowd!
The following are a few photos from both events:
