Church Artists in August
The Church Artist's show continues through August. Eleven artists are represented with a variety of genres that can engage our interest.
Charles Haskell has a suite of four photographs of succulents from Beverly Alison's award winning garden.
Board President Pat Wright's daughter, Diana Wright, gives us a witty take on an "art book."
Carol Ring combines her photographic art with her interest in Buddhism and meditation with a combination of peaceful images with a "metta" (loving-kindness) phrase printed by infusing dyes onto coated, brushed aluminum.
Bettye Barclay shows her multitalented creativity with four works - a clay plate with raku embellishment, two watercolors (one abstract and one figurative), and an abstract acrylic on canvas. Bettye has exhibited widely and has her works in many collections across the country.
Greg Wood takes us on a trip with his watercolor painted in 2 hours at the Truckee River (near Reno, NV) with train crossing and flanked by the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Amy Lacombe has two very colorful acrylic canvases with a Love theme.
Michael Young has two large "woodsy" photographic prints printed on canvas.
Peggy Rhoads has two pastel landscapes and a black-and-white woodcut.
Dale Riley shows a shoreline on acrylic canvas.
Diana Spears has two assemblages reflecting her interests in Oriental and Native American arts.
Finally, guest artist, Lorraine Paley, has a fantasy watercolor of horses.
