This plein air oil painting, Dissolve–Three Tree Hill, is on loan from Santa Rosa Junior College’s Doyle Collection for the exhibit Pepperwood Preserve: Paintings by Marsha Connell. At the exhibit, where original paintings and sketchbooks are displayed, you can also see a slide show of drawings, paintings and views of the preserve, as well as artists, scientists and students at work at Pepperwood. You’re invited to a lecture and reception for the exhibit Monday February 2, noon to 1pm. The exhibit will be up for two months.
