and ready for the Art Stall on Friday.

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.)"

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.
