Dimensions Newsletter - July/August 2006Mission Statement: Visual artists and supporters encouraging and promoting the arts in the community.
COLLAGE by Pat Nix President
I am thinking of poppies, big flag red poppies, poppies
with smooth and ragged petals and wonderful peony style poppies with petals
of all sizes and shapes within the outer bowl of petals. In all we
find the big green heart surrounded with a multitude of tiny hair-like
stamen that so engages the honey bee. Poppies on canvas are just as
captivating and they are in abundance.
The current show (through July 31) at Gallery at the Fifth
features Dee Green, Ryoko Toyama and Linda Zabora. This is the first
group showing for each of the three and they have put together one of the
best shows I have seen at the Fifth. They include many mediums and
subjects. Ryoko has several watercolor studies of leaves and some
dreamy watercolor landscapes. She combines portraits in charcoal with
watercolor plantscapes. Linda is showing several pastel ocean scenes
and some lovely orange poppies. She turns to colored pencil to show a
grouping of underwater Medusa. Over the 4th weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting the
new gallery in Port Ludlow, The Art Mine. This gallery is the stuff of
dreams. Fully and generously supported, Director and Curator Eric
Swangstu, plans to be THE art destination on the It’s Picnic Time. See you all at SUMMER PICNIC: Sequim Arts Summer
