Greetings!
Join us at BAA as 2011 moves toward its finale. We're celebrating the fall and winter holidays with a reprise of our Ornament Design Competition charity fundraiser, plus our annual "Small Images" exhibits at both galleries. But it's never to early to shop for that uniquely special gift -- original art.
There's always something new to see, and several venues to explore -- Buenaventura Gallery, Harbor Village Gallery, and Community Memorial Hospital. For more information please visit our website at BuenaventuraGallery.org. |

Steve Cook
"Riding the Planet,
Volume III"
Thru Nov. 5, 2011
First Friday Gallery Crawl:
Friday, Nov. 4, 5 - 8pm
Steve is a California oil painter, working in plein air or in the studio. Vivid color, texture and light are in all of his works. He paints the California landscape, both urban and rural. He likes to get new and unseen perspectives of recognizable locales. He also paints figurative scenes, mostly of surfing or our ocean culture. Another area of extreme interest is rusty machinery in a rural environment, old cars, trucks, tractors etc. All of these subjects will be on display with new paintings for the current solo show.

Lillian Blueze-Nelson
"Left of Normal"
November 8 - December 3, 2011
Reception:
Saturday, Nov. 12, 4 - 7 pm
First Fridays Gallery Crawl:
Friday, Dec. 2, 5 - 8pm
Blueze-Nelson's paintings in watercolor and mixed-media collage have produced a singular style that is at once unique and familiar. Some paintings draw comparisons to stained glass or batik works, while others capture a sense of motion with their bold geometric shapes. In these works she expresses the energy and power within each of us. The paintings also reflect the notion that the world is made of fragments, and our brain is what pulls together these fragments. We believe what we see because our brain tells us it is so. "My mixed media pieces give a hint to this reality by combining some objective forms into the subjective abstract." (more)
