CURRENTS

This exhibition features my recent watercolors. I was inspired to try this medium by FOG's Watercolors show. I enjoy artistic challenges and this medium presented one. I spent the last four months working only with watercolor– a diversion from over forty years of oil painting. Gone was the control I relied on with oils. Watercolors run, the colors dry differently and there is minimum covering up. But this medium gives me qualities I love: transparency, luminosity, lightness. The white of the paper becomes a color and what’s left blank is activated. I enjoy seeing the brush strokes, pools of paint and layers of color. Now I welcome less control and allow the medium to direct the painting. Watercolor has opened a new world for me.

EQUINOX

Autumn is here and we are excited to be exhibiting three esteemed Bay Area artists: Don Williams and returning artists Michael Acker and Natalie Craig. Each artist has a unique style perfected over decades. Michael makes photo-collage art, Natalie creates mixed media paintings and Don’s paintings focus on both realism and abstraction. There is much variety to enjoy.

Our block on Taraval Street and 40th Avenue looks fabulous and is ready for action. With new streetcar tracks, water and sewer pipes, palm trees and decorative rocks, this location has never looked so good. Parking is available and sidewalks are accessible. Come visit us on Saturdays and Sundays from 12-6 and always by appointment.

New Work

Taraval Street will be undergoing major construction on our block –– again. Starting January 25, the streetcar rails will be replaced and there will be no street parking for at least four weeks. Under these compromising conditions, we'll continue to show Anne's art until the road construction is finished. Thirty-one of her remaining Bird's Eye View pieces have been re-hung, along with a new series of Ocean Beach stone paintings. We eagerly anticipate inviting new artists for a March-April show.
