Artist
Ginny Schaw divides her time between Sutter Creek and her cabin along the Rogue
River in Oregon. Both locations provide a wealth of beauty, serenity and
adventure to inspire her art. Whether she is painting landscapes—plein air or
in her studio—wildlife, flowers or still life groupings, she is always trying
to capture how the light and shadows provide interesting contrasts. Schaw will be the featured artist at Sutter
Creek Gallery in October where she will introduce an integration of painting
and poetry.
Schaw has wonderful memories of a childhood doing arts and crafts with her talented mother and grandmother. During her career as a teacher, she tried to continue the same playfulness and sense of fun she experienced as a child. This philosophy has continued since retirement as she pursued painting with oils and watercolors. Schaw is mostly self-taught but has extended her techniques through classes from other artists. She loves sharing her passion with others who may not have had the opportunity for positive art experiences. Her paintings, some of which were commissioned, are enjoyed by collectors across the United States.
Sutter Creek Gallery invites you to spend some time with Ginny Schaw at a reception in her honor on Saturday, October 1, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., as part of the region’s First Saturday Art Trek. She is one of 25 artists exhibiting at the gallery located in the heart of Sutter Creek at 35 Main Street. Besides original paintings and photographs, Sutter Creek Gallery offers many affordable items including prints, cards, jewelry, ceramics, gourds and fiber arts. The gallery is open Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For additional information, call 209-267-0228, email suttercreekgallery@gmail.com, or visit www.suttercreekgallery.com.

Little Blue
Rowboat
By Ginny Schaw
Little blue
rowboat
Lost in the shade.
Nobody knows his
sorrow.
Will he stay
sleeping
With only his
dreams,
Or go on his way
tomorrow?
He’d drift down
the river
In dawn’s early
light.
Bow to the eagles
on high.
Follow the salmon
Under the bridge
And race the
clouds in the sky.

| Freedom
Frolic
By
Ginny Schaw
You
rarely see the soul unfold
From
lessons that are taught.
Constricting
girth and roles on earth
Or
treasures that are bought
But
when the day’s endurance ends
The
rule book’s put away
The
word goes out without a shout
The
horses time to play.
