The gallery will continue to be closed Wed and Thurs (Oct 11 and 12th) due to the fire conditions and very poor air quality in our area. Our gallery 'family' of 16 local artists are all safe and accounted for, including their pets, but we have been deeply affected by the fire. Some of us are evacuated from our homes, and several of us have lost our homes in the fire ..... We are happy to report that the fire has not come near the town of Healdsburg, so the gallery is fine. Thank you for your support and concerns for our artists and we hope to see you under clear blue skies soon. 10/2/2017 0 Comments October 2017Color me Happy by Tony Minnino  Embarking on a new direction in his artwork, artist Tony Mininno shares a fresh and engaging side of his creative self in his colorful, passionate abstracts. Each unique piece, drawn from the reservoir of his life, is filled with soul and energy. Keeping in mind that color has the scientifically proven ability to alter one’s mood and feelings, Mininno thoughtfully applies each stroke, first in response to his own inner psyche, but also to further elicit such emotions as excitement, joy, calm, creativity and respect. These emotions, first experienced by the artist, himself, are then offered through his abstracts, as a gift to the viewer - a gift to pause and explore for themselves all that is drawn out in their own experience of his art.
"These paintings exhibit bright color and whimsical pattern and brushwork. I applied thick layers of paint that I have carved or incised with serrated knives to create directional movement or 'energy.' Although I have given each painting a name that hints at my intention, I want the viewer to explore each painting and let his or her mind wander in and around my canvas and reach their own conclusion as to what it represents to them in their minds." To further your art-viewing pleasure, Tony Mininno's small works abstracts will be on display along with, "Autumn Color," a show featuring the artworks of all the artists at Upstairs Art Gallery, October 2nd - 29th. Reception: October 7th, 4-7PM Tony will also be in the gallery on the following days: Tuesday, Oct. 3, 11am-6pm Wednesday, Oct. 11, 3-6pm Saturday, Oct. 14, 11am-3pm 9/4/2017 0 Comments Reasons to RejoiceDebbie Harding - soft pastel paintings There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice." - John Calvin  Focused mainly on landscape, floral and wildlife, each artwork is an invitation to see more acutely the richness of life that we can so often miss in our hurried pace. |
