*NEW* Rainbow Bridge Twilight by Steve Memering

View work by one of Sacramento's most admired artists Steve Memering. 
Uncomfortable with photographic realism, Steve prefers to "interpret", rather than "report", a subject. "I paint what I remember; not what I see" Steve explains. "I try to edit out everything not essential and get to what is really there."  


Steve will be at the gallery from 5-6pm, but his artwork will remain throughout the evening.

SteveSwatt B-W at American Visions Gallery        Fair, Balanced....and Dead        Steve Swatt Book Fair Balanced    
 

This past Saturday, Steve Swatt visited American Visions Gallery in Folsom to answer questions about writing and about television news, and to sign copies of his novel, "Fair, Balanced ... and Dead."   The gallery has a few signed copies.  Proceeds go to local charities: "It's a good read, a good cause, and a great gift." 

And we just learned that Swatt's book is a
finalist in two significant categories in the 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Awards:  As a crime novel, and as a political thriller. You can find the Sacramento Bee's Rick Kushman's book review at

     Autographed Books Available in the Gallery

Let the gallery know if you would like us to hold any copies for your gift-giving.

 


Sorry for the Inconvenience

As some of you know the art teacher, Dana Childs, missed the last class because of complications.  Anyone who came that day for the class, will not be charged for their children in the next class. And American Visions Art Gallery will give you a $20 Gift Certicate for your inconvenience,  and can be used for one of our children's books or puzzles.

 Please mention this when you come to one of the next classes.

Art for Children :    

                   Let the Masters Be Our Model

You may sign up now for future classes

Master artists are the featured fun at this wonder-filled and whimsical art class sponsored by American Visions Art Gallery in Old Town Folsom.  Bring your child and their friends to the gallery to enjoy an enriching experience creating art modeled after masters like Winslow Homer, Claude Monet and Grandma Moses.

                    
  • Winslow Homer: each child will compose a version of Winslow Homer's wildlife watercolors.

                    October 14   4:00 to 5:40 pm


  • Claude Monet: each child will share in his impressionistic vision using pastels alone.  Monet birthday is this month ( Nov. 14), so it will be a fitting to the artist and the participants.
                                November 18   4:00 to 5:40 pm

  • Chiura Obata: each child will play with the colors and imagination of the artist.  Sapphires and rubies and emeralds, Oh My!
                                 December 9   4:00 to 5:40 pm

Dana Childs, from Flight Arts and Educational Adventures,

will teach each session.
