Charlotte Verity said: "Mysteriously, when the offer came, the timing felt right. The work might have appeared too divergent at earlier points in our career, but now it felt not only possible to make a show with some coherence, but an interesting one – not least, for ourselves. Having guarded our independence hitherto, we were curious to see what the paintings would look like side by side and prepared to take a risk. The unpredictable element was exciting. But when finally the paintings were in place, the show felt settled and harmonious. There was more in common than we had realised." Christopher Le Brun said: "Nature’s there, but through painted means, through light and space and colour, atmosphere and distance. It’s true that we use different methods or approaches such as, say, close observation versus imagination but there are shared values too. For example, there is a reluctance to overprescribe, preferring to invite the viewer, rather than coerce them. I don’t believe either of us works without (in the metaphorical sense of the word) a certain distancing and Charlotte is careful to approach content obliquely."

Pimlico Interiors by Melissa Lindsay reimagines a tropical retreat with timeless style. To conjure up a perfect tropical getaway, close your eyes for a moment: Imagine an immaculately designed private community featuring a diverse array of custom oceanfront, fairway-front and village homes that is committed to sustainability and entrenched in cultural enrichment. Next, add an 18-hole golf course, an equestrian center, a tennis center designed by former tennis pro Stan Smith, and world-class dining. This is Windsor, a private residential community located in Vero Beach, along Florida’s Treasure Coast. And this is where a couple from New England purchased a second home for winter breaks and family gatherings.

Earthwork is well underway at the North Village. All 1,800+ of the site’s existing palm trees are currently being protected or relocated within the North Village. The North Village will offer Members an abundance of opportunities to experience the diverse and unique ecology of Florida. Within the 47-acre master plan, over 26 acres is devoted to parks, naturalized areas and tree islands, and nearly 10 acres is comprised of water and aquatic vegetation, with a freshwater lake to the east and a tidal estuary directly connected to the Indian River Lagoon to the west.

Take a walk on the wild side. Windsor’s pristine beach is located within the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, a 20.5 mile stretch of beach and shoreline designated to protect habitat at the most significant area for loggerhead sea turtle nesting in the world, and the most significant area for green turtle nesting in North America. Sea turtle nesting season officially starts on March 1 and lasts eight months. Photo by ADRIAN DOZA PHOTOGRAPHY and IF STUDIO

On view at The Gallery at Windsor until April 25, 2025, "Left Hand, Right Hand," is a joint exhibition of recent works by Christopher Le Brun and Charlotte Verity. Since meeting in 1974 at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and marrying in 1979, Le Brun and Verity have developed a rich artistic dialogue arising from years of shared experience, yet which is expressed by distinct painterly sensibilities. Le Brun’s work is led by his imagination, revealing a commitment to the essential pleasure of painting for its own sake, its processes and physicality. He is a master of color and touch. By contrast, Verity’s lucid compositions, born from hours of close observation and intense looking, distil a precise yet capacious vision of the world. Curated by Robin Vousden, the exhibition provides a rare opportunity to see these two major British painters side by side, as they exhibit together for the first time in the USA. The Gallery at Windsor is open to the public by appointment. Visit https://bit.ly/4hw2BNV for details on public opening times and how to reserve a docent-led tour. "Left Hand, Right Hand," is presented in collaboration with albertz benda gallery. Installation photography by Aric Attas

The final phase of Windsor, the North Village is at once a seamless expansion of this beloved seaside community, and a fresh new vision for it. Based on the principles of the New Urbanism movement and enhanced with a heightened focus on sustainability, it offers a mix of residences, green public spaces and exciting new amenities. Thirty-four single-family residences and six Row Houses will be built to take advantage of calming water views over a freshwater lake and estuary. Homesites in the North Village are seventy percent sold out. Remaining lots start at $1,175,000.

When Michael and Virginia Johnson decided it was time to make a few changes to their home in Windsor Properties, they contacted RCL Development, Inc., the firm that constructed the custom residence in 2007. Little did the couple know that the "few changes" they envisioned would end up doubling the square footage, reconfiguring spaces, and creating a courtyard where larger-than-life lemons, hummingbirds, and flowers brighten formerly pale walls.

Married Masters of Abstraction Open Rare Joint Show in Florida "Left Hand, Right Hand" is a moving, bifurcated show, divided into two rooms, each artist claiming one. The split seems to mirror their real-life strategy of separated practices. Le Brun and Verity requested separate interviews, reluctant to go too far into reflections on the other’s work. "We did discuss the possibility of mixing work," says Le Brun, "but they have slightly different atmosphere, different tone, and the paintings cumulatively are more coherent." As an example, he proffers that his wife sometimes depicts the same plant a season apart. "You need those two together," he explains. "If you put one of my paintings alongside, you immediately break the narrative." Excerpted from Morgan Becker’s feature for artnet Visit https://bit.ly/4hHKhBj to see the full article.
