The many aspects and associations with Yellow comprise the theme of this show at Partners in April. For one artist the yellow is the bright and aggressive noontime sun full of energy and potency. For others yellow signals warmth and good cheer, a joyful moment when a fledgling swift rejoins its flock. It is precious gems of gold or a sparkling of gingko leaves on the asphalt or lichen glowing on a tree trunk. Or perhaps a cascade of confetti.
The exhibit is on view from April 10 to May 5.Second Saturday Meet the Artists, April 12, 5-7pm
Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday, 11-5pmThe gallery is located at 45062 Ukiah St in Mendocino.www.partnersgallery.com
We are happy to present a show of impressionistic, original oil paintings by Susan Barnes. Her work expresses her love of life, of beauty and of character. She creates colorful images of Mendocino and our beloved coast in the manner of Monet, Cassatt and Amavisca. We hope you will come by and see the collection of her lovely art that we have on display through May 27th.
