Bruce Maxwell and the artist Brad Aldridge

AN OPENING RECEPTION for the painter Brad Aldridge's exhibition "An Elevated View" was held at Susan Calloway Fine Arts last Saturday. Aldridge creates pastoral landscapes that evoke an Arcadian calm. His paintings conjure 19th century Romanticism while employing somewhat loose 20th century brushstrokes. Aldridge says that his "ultimate goal is to create objects of beauty, which nourish the viewer on a spiritual level."

ALDRIDGE WAS born on an army base outside Tokyo, and began producing art already at the age of four. Early on he knew that he wanted to become a professional artist. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Brigham Young University, and went on to get a Master's from the University of Arkansas.

THE EXHIBITION lasts through Oct. 31. Susan Calloway Fine Arts is located at 1643 Wisconsin Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20007. Tel: 202-965-4601. For more info go to www.callowayart.com.
