Flecks, streaks and arcs dart across a blank mat board as artist Marcelle Harwell Pachnowski paints among a backdrop of spectators and a rumbling band. Crouch. Head tilt. Lean. A live performance emerges as the artist's bold colors flash across the surface of the large-scale piece....culminating in a rendering, worthy of a bow.
