Thoughts on openings last night.
Page Bond Gallery: www.pagebondgallery.com
Roberto Jamora; An Inventory of Traces.
These are beautiful large works. He says he mines color from memories and it’s intriguing the way he creates a thick layered surface and then appears to scrape shapes in to uncover undulating color.
Angela Franks Wells;Parts and Labor. Copper plate photogravure.
These are rich and beautiful photos from an auto repair shop.
Allison Cooley; Your Nature Somewhere Else.
These are large abstract atmospheric abstract ink blooms where upon closer inspection one is rewarded by experiencing the delicate linear elements

The Visual Art Center: www.visarts.org
Damien Davis: Color Cargo. Wood and color as subject.
 How we assign value to objects. The Luscher chart is explained as to how pseudo scientific about color choice is used as a psychological test. He has developed a lexicon of shapes over a long time on boxes to carry meaning and importance. This exhibition is packed with many references to explore in more than one visit.

Reynolds Gallery: www.reynoldsgallery.com
Joan Elliot: Infinity Field
Joan’s new work has integrated more of the landscapes into her geometric patterning. There are layers of architectural details and patterns that overlay images of landscapes in some. They are a beauty one must experience.
Matt Kleberg: Blind Arcade.
His work refers to architecture and mixes it up with organic elements employing intense colors.
Allison Hall: for the white bird.
These are large black appearing paintings that take some time looking at them before you see patterns and shapes emerge.

Frank Phillips: Pentimento
These large paintings are inspired by architecture and process. The construction of which is revealed. These traces remain untouched, revealing the element of time.

Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, is an ancient painting method that combines pigment, molten beeswax, and resin. Finished pieces can appear luminous, smooth, shiny, or textured, as well as three-dimensional. This makes the medium ideal for working in both abstract or representational styles. In this class you’ll explore melting and fusing the wax, making clean lines and edges, and methods of collage and texture.

Explore ways to incorporate your photos in an encaustic piece. You’ll learn how to add images to a panel as collage or attach the whole image directly to a panel as a basis for further work. We’ll try a pour, then explore layering and surface embellishments only possible with encaustic. Experimental ideas are welcome.

This workshop is for students who are new to encaustic and for those who want to expand theirskills and explore more possibilities with paint.
The hot wax layering process of encaustic painting produces luminous surfaces and textures. After learning surface preparation and some background information, participants in this three-day workshop will experience the process of applying layers of transparent colors, imprinting and casting with botanical materials, incorporating image transfers, and working with stencils and textures.
Step-by-step demonstrations will be followed by plenty of time to work and improvise throughout the days. Participants will emerge with a range of skills to deepen the direction of their ongoing work and confidence to create paintings incorporating new skills.
Although Lynda works in a nonrepresentational style, she finds encaustic to be a versatile medium for all types of work. Understanding the properties of encaustic is the first step to incorporating it into your own work. Wherever you are with your art, Lynda will take you to the next level.
