Marsha and Sally green and black copyTwo painter friends
One known for expressive “painterly” landscapes, one for elegantly rendered still lifes, both passionate about color, offer their unique weekend of watercolor exploration.

You’ll explore skills including
Painting soft-edged wet-in-wet forms, building images by layering marks and shapes, painting seamless transparent washes as a meditative practice, and delineating sharply focused objects.

Approaches
From abstract to realist, from spontaneous space-shaping with a brush to methodical color-forming based on careful drawing.

“Iris and Pond”, the painting I’ve featured for my catalog image can be seen now at the Art Trails Gallery at Corrick’s. It will return home for Open Studio weekends, October 11 & 12, 18 & 19. Corrick’s is open M-F 10-5:30 and there will be two Art Trails receptions, First Fridays in September and October, 5-7. Join us! Meet and greet and enjoy the inspiring works in many media by over seventy artists, and of course wine, food, and music, too.

Sally Baker and I have been hanging art shows for two intensive days, yesterday the Preview Exhibit at the Art Trails Gallery at Corrick's and the day before, Art for Life, at Sebastopol Center for the Arts. It's like making three dimensional collages, finding connections and building bridges between disparate objects, so that they have harmonious conversations, but do not blend so much that they lose their individual characters. A visual and physical challenge, and gratifying when it all comes together!
