CALL FOR DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT OF PLYMOUTH VETERANS PARK MEMORIAL

The District 5 Veterans Park Memorial Committee is seeking an artist to team with our committee in the design and development of the District 5 Veterans Park Memorial. 

We want the artist to help us capture the appreciation we have for all the men and women who gave their youth, their hopes and dreams, and in many cases, their lives in the name of freedom... and those who will. A place, within a larger park, that will allow us to honor their memory and take a moment to think about the cost of freedom and war. 

It will be a long the gateway to the City of Plymouth so it will need to be seen and appreciated night and day along Highway 16.  

Timeline: Design completed by July, 2019. Development and construction competed by Dec. 2020.

Budget: We would like to see what the potential cost would be before committing to final budget but this is a paid project.  There may also an opportunity to get Federal, State of Local funding for this project. 

Location: Plymouth Veterans Park (around the flag pole and adjacent areas)

For complete details, e-mail David Logan at dlogan6724@gmail.com

December at Sutter Creek Gallery: "Squared Away"

Sutter Creek Gallery is “squared away” for the holidays.  Gallery artists were invited and encouraged to produce a piece—or two--of art in a square format.  Some will be as small as 2 x 2 inches while others will range up to 14 x 14.

Among the larger pieces will be abstracts from Annie Hughes. On the opposite end of the spectrum are tiny acrylic and collage pieces on canvas by Wendy Ward.  JoAnn Ogburn will exhibit a watercolor of lilies entitled “Sugar Babies.” Cynthia Dunn-Selph’s encaustic “Ex Libris” will be included, alongside Wendy Rogers’ “Electra Road,” “Coyote Eyes” by Michael Maloney, “Early Snowfall,” an acrylic by Melissa Doyel, and many more.

We’ll be trimming our tree with ornaments made by gallery artists who will also be offering seasonal cards.  Gift ideas abound:  Fused glass jewelry by Helen Wilkinson. Bead and gourd necklaces and hair clips from Leanne Kelly.  A new jeweler, Sandy Morgan, fashions dramatic pieces from recycled metals.  Stained glass balloons, mini collages, animal sculptures, handwoven scarves and one-of-a-kind (sometimes two-of-a-kind) mugs are also available.

Come join us for refreshments and to meet this talented group of artists and view their work.  To help art shoppers, we offer layaway for up to 60 days. And we can frame any items needing that service.  We are currently offering a special on framing if you visit our Facebook page. The cooperative is located in the heart of Sutter Creek at 35 Main Street.

With the time change, the gallery is now open daily, except Tuesday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  For additional information, call 209-267-0228, email suttercreekgallery@gmail.com or visit www.suttercreekgallery.com.

December at Gallery 10: Paintings and Drawings by Steve Holler

“It is the responsibility of the visual artist to make a connection with his subject and then to translate that connection to the emotional experience of his viewing audience.”

- Steve Holler, Artist

Gallery 10, in Sutter Creek, welcomes Steve Holler as the featured artist for the month of December.

The concept of connection is fundamental in the execution of Holler’s acrylic paintings and graphite drawings. The connection between the painter’s interpretation of a subject and the emotional connection made by the viewer is at the essence of the artistic experience. It is the artist’s goal to interpret his subject with a unique and personal point-of-view. Selecting the subject, may come through a long period of evaluation or it may be an instantaneous moment of inspiration. Perhaps the most magical connection is made when the work of art is viewed by an audience. Each viewer will bring an individual response to the same painted image. The color, texture, shapes, subject matter, etc. may have unique interpretations by each member of the audience. The viewer will make an individual connection with the image or have no response at all. This is the challenge for the artist and an opportunity for the viewer.

The December show at Gallery 10, “Recent Connections”, will introduce a new direction that the artist has been exploring. These new images combine acrylic paint and graphite in one image statement. One image composition has been segmented and translated in both media to form a single image statement. These new works will give the viewer an opportunity to experience “connection” through an unexpected visual.

Steve Holler has been forming these visual connections with viewers for over 30 years during a successful career as a graphic designer. He is now redirecting his professional focus to the field of fine art with a concentration on acrylic painting and graphite drawing. Holler works primarily in the interpretation of the northern California landscape. His paintings are expressively representational with bold color and an optimistic personality. See more of Steve Holler’s work on his web site:  steveholler.com

Mr. Holler holds a BFA degree from the Kansas City Art Institute, an MFA degree from the California College of the Arts, and has completed additional graduate study at Yale University.

Gallery 10 is located at 15 Eureka Street, Sutter Creek. The show will hang all of December. Gallery hours during the holidays will be 11-5 every day!

"River Runs Wild"

"Local Stream"

Local watercolor artist Jeannie Vodden will demonstrate at November's ACAA meeting - Wed Nov 14

Well known local artist Jeannie Vodden will be our demonstrator for November. Jeannie, whose media is most often watercolor, is a versatile painter of portraits, still life, floral, landscape and fantasy. Her method is to use a glazing process, in which she applies layer upon layer, changing color and letting it mix on the paper.

Jeannie says she uses a very limited palette., starting with only three colors, and then sometimes broadening the choices to six or eight, very seldom using more. The demonstration will be after the business meeting on Wednesday, November 14 at the Amador Senior Center, and the public is welcome to attend.
