Carol and Berni Party

Berni's reception on Saturday was the first time in a while that we have held an evening event. And we were lucky with the weather. Great turn-out, delicious food and lots of fun!

Berni Jahnke - Coast to Coast

This month Viewpoints Gallery is proud to feature watercolor paintings by Berni Jahnke. Berni's main interest has been painting people she has come across on her extensive travels. For this show Berni focuses on people at the beach, exploring tide pools playing in the surf or just soaking up the sun. We will host a reception for Berni this Saturday, October 10 from 4pm - 7pm. Join us for a special evening.

Green Foothills

This weekend we worked with Green Foothills on their annual fundraiser. Members each set aside two paintings, one in the gallery and another to be displayed at the Green Foothills event, to benefit the organization. It was some work but great fun to set up the displays.

Here is our 'set up group' in the gallery- Barbara, Floy, Karen and Jane.

And here is our display at the Los Altos History House garden where the Green Foothills even took place.

How Diana's Exhibit Came to Be

We were on our way to Carmel when my friend suggested using only three colors (magenta, phthalo blue and yellow) plus white. We had the colors with us so began at Pacific Grove and continued painting with this limited palette for 4 days.

And Diana has been using the same four colors ever since!

Primary + White

Our featured artist for September is Diana Jaye. Diana is showing a group of oil paintings she painted on location using only the tree primary colors, red, blue and yellow, plus white.
