Russian Impressionism applied to barnyard animals creates the sense one can touch that cow lick of fur, look deeply into the luminous eyes of the rabbit and go back to a more innocent time, a time of youth and small farms dotting the countryside. Come join us as Paula Jones breathes life onto the canvas and creates quiet moments on Saturday, Sept. 4th from 1 to 3 pm in the courtyard of Act I Gallery.

Autumn Light
Saturday, September 11, 2010 marks the official opening for the all-gallery group show “Autumn Light” at Act I Gallery. New paintings are arriving already, reflecting the warm, long light of autumn as it ricochets through the aspens and lights up the cottonwoods throughout the Rocky Mountains. Crimson, gold, russet against brilliant blue skies take one’s breath away.
Come be breathless with Stephen Datz, Paula Jones, Dinah Worman, Peggy McGivern, Ken Daggett and other gallery luminaries.
To preview Autumn Light pieces, look for the * symbol throughout our artist’s online galleries.

Peggy McGivern: Legends and Myths
Attending her first Taos Pueblo Pow Wow, painter Peggy McGivern was fascinated by the participants’ transformations as they focused on the rhythm of the dances. She later received a gift: “Gene Kloss: An American Printmaker,” the catalog raisonné by Gene Sanchez. Kloss’s etchings gave Peggy a glimpse of the mysterious place between dance and earth and spirit. The confluence of events sparked her new “Legends & Myths” series of oil paintings.
