A Slice of California
Paintings from the Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild
Showcasing a slice of life from our Golden State, eighteen artists from the Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild have assembled a body of thirty paintings on display at the La Jolla Riford Library.
Featuring landscapes and seascapes, still life, and figurative work done in oil and watercolor, the exhibition encompasses the state’s diversity from its lush fruits and flowers, its verdant landscapes and radiant seascapes, to the people who call California home. Paintings include the quiet nobility of La Jolla’s eucalyptus trees at sunset in Toni Williams’ La Jolla Edge, the dramatic play of golden light and color in Impressionist Lunch by Tom Balderas, Raye Anne Marks’ Mountain Flowers with its vibrant white blooms on the shore of a deep blue lake, Lynn Gertenbach’s Moonrise in Malibu Creek where the calmness of the moment is accented by sparks of red and blue in the reeds at the water’s edge, and Alex Schaefer’s powerful urbanscape of Wilshire over the 110, Los Angeles where palms insert themselves and their reflections in midst of freeways and office buildings. Other painters in the exhibit include: Pat Beck, Nora Dewey, Ruth Evans, Deborah Fitzpatrick, Alison Harding, Carol Harter, Cindy Klong, Maureen Moore, Renata Shafor, Carol Slief, Gale Summerfield, Jennifer Hurley and Teresa White. This is a curated exhibition, and all works are for sale.
A Slice of California runs March 6 to April 4. There will be a reception at the Library with many of the artists in attendance on Sunday, March 10 from 2 to 4 PM. Come see the show, meet the artists and learn the stories behind their paintings.
