Jessie and crew will be very busy this week hanging our tenth annual all-gallery exhibition, Beloved California: Twenty-One Painters With a Passion for Place, which opens this Saturday, November 15. As the subtitle suggests, nearly our entire roster of premiere artists is represented with inspired new and recent paintings of our extraordinary regional landscape.
For our postcard and other publicity, we chose this piece by long-time roster member Christin Coy, who has spent her career capturing the distinctive light and undulating hills of Marin County. This 8″ x 12″ oil, “Mt. Tamalpais from Mill Valley,” is an excellent example of her work.
Christin Coy, “Mt. Tamalpais from Mill Valley”. Oil on linen panel, 8″ x 12″.
I made a simple sloped profile to mimic the slope and contours of Mt. Tamalpais, one of the Bay’s great landscape features. At 1-7/8″ wide, it’s in walnut toned with Medieval stain, and has a 1/8″ slip leafed with rose gold, to harmonize with the late light.
The show, as I said, opens this Saturday, and there will be a reception for the artists from 2-4 pm. Bring your family and friends, and join us in celebrating the beauty of our Beloved California!
Beloved California X runs through December 30.
