Abstract Waterfall

While setting up my gear to paint a lovely waterfall in Bellevue Botanical Gardens, I discovered my tripod was broken.  Luckily, I spotted a flat rock next to the waterfall to sit on and propped my paint box against a bush.  After blocking in the big shapes and values, I decided to stop there.........my first landscape abstract.  Fun!

Come to the Market!

The heart of Seattle, Pike Place Market offers food for the senses and the soul! 
Every day at the Art Stall Gallery you can meet a local artist and take Seattle home in a work of art.
Beginning this Friday we will feature the work of two outstanding watercolorists.  Come enjoy!

Keeping Up With the Joans -- July 26 through August 2014

  

Dead Bug VII, Joan Glenn watercolor

It's crunch time for Joan Reeves and Joan Glenn as they prepare for their "Keeping Up With the Joans" show at the Art Stall Gallery.  The show will run from July 25th through August 28th.

Seattle Style, Joan Reeves watercolor

The two friends are combining their skills to produce a show featuring their favorite subjects and the spectacular views of the Northwest.
With a combined 75 years as members of the Art Stall, the two watercolor artists have observed and painted the changing face of their beloved Pike Place Market, the Northwest, and the various World wide locations they've visited.
Joan Glenn writes:  "My studio looks like the aftermath of a major natural disaster. Framing 17 paintings produces confused clutter that only other frantic artists can appreciate.  But the excitement of finally seeing the work of weeks and months framed and ready for hanging makes it all worthwhile.  (I'm hoping to locate my telephone, car keys, and the family cat, within the next week or so.)"

"Single Stem," oil pastel by Marsha Lippert

From Marsha:

Occasionally I see people walking through the Market carrying single stems.
This oil pastel is 2 1/4" x 3 1/4", titled "Single Stem," and is currently
available at the Art Stall Gallery.

"The Little House," oil pastel by Marsha Lippert

The Little House, © 2014 Marsha Lippert, oil pastel

The first time I painted the little house plein air, it was 90+ degrees! Located on one of the last pieces of acreage within the city limits of Portland, Oregon; the plein air painting process was so enjoyable, I barely noticed the high temperature.

I texted this to my husband, Bob, yesterday, when he texted me...."how's it going?"

Painting is our passion. Come see for yourself and make art a part of your life. Mraz

Lopez Island view

Spent a couple of days on Lopez Island in June, sat on the beach on a still, shimmery morning and painted this view of the Preserve.
