There is a very impressive show of Susan Jamison’s paintings at 2nd Street Gallery in Charlottesville (Water Street Arts District). http://www.secondstreetgallery.org/exhibitions/susan_jamison.html
Ms. Jamison, from Roanoke, VA, does large scale egg tempera paintings on board. In exquisite detail, the paintings (portraits) explore "archetypes from myths, dreams, and fairy tales" through a stylized approach akin to the magical realism of Latin American tradition. In addition to the paintings, the exhibit includes a handful of Ms. Jamison’s drawings on paper.
This show is a treasure.
