Summer Show

"Red Hot Cool"

"Red Hot Mandala" by Jill Jones

 

Eye popping abstracts, flowers at the peak vivid color, bare feet squishing through sand and surf, Woodies loaded down with surfboards, cool watery moonlit scenes--it all comes together in the first of two themed shows for the summer--"Red, Hot, Cool", which opens on Thursday June 19 at the Art House Gallery.  This summer the Art House Gallery is full of new works by both members and non-members in this special summer show.  We are delighted with the array of new work produced for the summer theme challenges so please join us at the Art House Gallery to see the warm and cool palette visions of summer. 

 

The Opening Reception was held on Saturday June 21, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Prizes were awarded to works in the show and guests received prizes donated by local merchants.  Click here to see the complete list on the Shows and Exhibits page.

The Next Demo will be Alan Nowell in September

We take a break from meetings during the months of July and August, but will return again in September with an exciting line up of artists starting with Alan Nowell who is a plein air and studio painter.  Alan has a marvelous sense of color and quickly captures the essence and movement of a scene to create strong compositions from the most simple and seemingly ordinary details.  When he takes brush to canvas he transforms the ordinary to extraordinary.  Please join us at the Sept. 9th general meeting to watch his demonstration, 7-9 p.m.

Upcoming Demos:

 

October 2008 TBA

November 2008 Jim Salchak--a special night about painter John Singer Sargent
