Lynda Cole at WSG gallery

Lynda Cole is the featured artist now at WSG gallery, through Nov. 28, 2010. In this photo, her lovely collaborative installation (w/Candace Pappas) captures the light as it comes in the front window. This piece is just gorgeous! The ephemeral qualities of the materials they used, the way the suspended elements dance in the air, create a meditative piece that is mesmerizing!

Visiting Artist, Lulu Zheng at WSG

We are so lucky at the gallery to have a group of vastly talented visiting artists. Lulu Zheng grew up swimming competitively in China, went to medical school, all the while swimming and painting her muse - water! Most of her work celebrates her close relationship with water and swimming. This large (about 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 ft.) piece is called "Lulu Meets Her Muse and Trusts Her". What a gorgeous piece!

Women Writing, by Alvey Jones

When you look at Alvey's "Vermeer and the Art of Painting" show, be sure to pay special attention to the light source. Vermeer was a Dutch painter. The light in the Netherlands is a Northern light, having a "cool" quality. Cool as in bluish - not warm as in sunlight in the tropics. Note Alvey's color choices, as well. How do they complement the "original" Vermeer painting?
