279. Extraordinary Student Paintings

Four master artists/art instructors and selected student works are on exhibit at the Civic Center through November. The master instructors teach up and coming artists throughout the county and the Bay Area, and exhibit and are represented in galleries throughout California. They include:

• Dorallen Davis, Plein Air Impressionist Painter, Marin Art School
• Susan Hontalas, Terra Linda Ceramics
• Barbara Lawrence, Landscapes Artist
• Carol Smith Myer, Colorist – Oil Painter

One of the students whose work was chosen for the exhibit is a friend of mine, but I can honestly say that her piece, as well as the others, is wonderful. Since the show is running for another six weeks, there is plenty of time to go by. Parking is free at the Civic Center, and the gallery is always nice and quiet, and rarely busy, so you can enjoy the art at your leisure. Tonight’s reception is an opportunity to meet the artists, the instructors, and learn about the classes they teach as well.
