Creek Side Studio Gallery Show

Come join me at my Limekiln Creek Side Studio Gallery on Oct. 20 and  21 to view a large selection of my recent paintings.  You can request more information if you want to contact me at    RSummersB@aol.com.   My work includes Limekiln Creek and California landscapes, some from my world travels, florals, and abstracts.  Because I paint with a palette knife the colors are sculpted and radiate light in different ways as the day goes by.  Unlike a photo or brush painting, they are not flat.  People say that I take them to places they would like to visit in the intense colors that I pull out with passion.  You can also see my work at Blinn House in Pasadena, Jose Vera Gallery with the California Art Club in Los Angeles, Artists' Enclave in Woodland Hills, Imagine on Main Street in Ventura, Sierra Design Studio in Mammoth Lakes, and High Studio Art Gallery in Moorpark.  Be sure and scroll through other postings included in the archives here, for more fun with my work.

Bridges, Paths, and Possibilities

Bridges, Paths and Possibilities in 2012

Pasadena: "Colorado Street Bridge" and "Eaton Canyon

Here we are, 2012 with new possibilities and paths...bridges to cross...energy of color. Did you know that color is an antidepressant? All the more reason to change paintings on your walls now and then. We become desensitized to the familiar and need new stimulation. The more energy photons have when they collide and explode, the more color they give off..so join me in some new paintings, new shows this year. Or take a class in palette knife painting and explore your own creativity with me. I will lead one at Artists' Enclave Gallery Jan. 21. Call 818 884 4946 to reserve a spot.

You can also join me for my show at The Great Frame Up, 9010 Balboa Blvd, Northridge, Calif., "Nature's Nurting." The reception is from 5 to 8 on Jan. 27.
