"In the pink light of pre-dawn deep in the Catskill Mountains, a pile of twigs and leaves began to stir on the forest floor. Black Bear emerged from his den and stretched, and scowled. "Peep, peep, peep" he heard, "peep, peep, peep." Following the sound he came to a scrub-shrub swamp filled with tiny frogs..."
And so begins "Black Bear's Hudson Valley Tale" - a "music-telling" performance piece conceived by Madera Vox, with a story and illustrations by award-winning children's author Iza Trapani and original music by David Gluck. The premiere is set for October 2009 at the CENTER for Performing Arts in Rhinebeck, NY, to coincide with the conclusion of the the Hudson/Fulton/Champlain Quadricentennial.

Colin Barclay
Evening view from Cadillac
Cali Gorevic and Colin Barclay at Van Brunt Gallery through November 2nd
Two of our area's favorite artists will be showing their work together this month at Van Brunt Gallery in Beacon beginning October 3rd. Cali Gorevic will be exhibiting a selection of black and white photographs taken during her recent trip to Iceland. Colin Barclay will present recent paintings of Maine, New Hampshire, Nova Scotia and the Catskills.
The show is entitled Northern Light. The title refers not only to the locations that inspired the art, but also to a certain clarity and distance between the artists and their subjects.
In Barclay's work his emotive palette and his depictions of stormy skies are balanced by a sense of vast geological time and deep space. His natural dramas are enacted on a big stage even in his smaller works. Gorevic's gaze is glacial on the one hand, with a sharp eye for the eternal forms that reveal themselves in the natural world. Yet, like Barclay she has a feel for the transient beauty found in Nature, revealed in one moment and gone the next. Neither has much time for the works of man, at least not in their pictures. Not a footprint is anywhere to be found.
Even so, there is something very human about this work. Certainly there is compassion where so much artistry and effort is expended to reveal the visual poetry of the natural world, in particular, our part of the natural world, the North East and beyond. Through the eyes of artists like Gorevic and Barclay we get to know our world better, we get closer to the heart of it and even as winter approaches, we feel a bit more of the warmth of home.
Northern Light, Cali Gorevic photographs and Colin Barclay oil paintings will run through November 2nd. There is an artist's reception on Saturday, October 10th from 6-9 pm. Van Brunt Gallery is now located at 137 Main Street in Beacon. Gallery Hours are 11am until 6pm Thursday through Monday. For further information please call 845-838-2995 or e-mail carl@vanbruntgallery.com.
