Exhibit Brilliant Palette by Anne Whitehurst February 3 - 26, 2012

Picture
Anne has brought to this exhibit all new artwork using her brilliant signature palette using complementary color to make that palette sing even louder. Using big brushes with one color on one edge of the brush and another color on the other will produce highlights and shadow in one stroke.


This exhibit features cowboy scenes, jazz scenes from New Orleans, fun backwards writing canvases as well as landscapes, all of which use her "brilliant palette."

Monterey Boat Works by Janet "Siino" Martinez is launched in Garden Gallery

Picture
Janet, grand-daughter to Angelo Siino, well respected "Maestro" of the fishing boat industry has salvaged photographs found in her grandmother's, uncles and mother's archives of the fishing boats built and launched by the Siino family at the Monterey Boatworks from early 1900's through the last boat built in 1954 of the "Anthony Boy."

She has exhibited a much larger show at the Maritime Museum in Monterey, now known as MOM in 2007. She took old photographs, enlarged, colorized and restored as required, then printed them on fine art paper in order to preserve this historical fishing industry legacy.

The fishing boat featured here is the General Pershing built in 1930 by Angelo Siino. It is now currently docked at the Monterey Bay Boatworks and will be re-utilized as a "Classroom on the Bay" in the Monterey area. The current generation of Siino's through a Trust and nonprofit organization is seeking sponsors to help preserve this sardine fishing boat legacy. If you are interested, please contact Janet and mmpublishing@gmail.com.
