Something about the paintings of Camille Przewodek stops you, then brings a smile to your face. Maybe it is the vitality of the colors, or the feeling of intrigue one gets from the houses; windows and doorways beckon us to enter, while retaining dark secrets about what is inside. She doesn’t quibble about the paintings being happy. She won’t even set up her easel unless there is something about the scene that grabs her heart and gnaws at her aesthetic adoration of light on color.
