Four participating galleries of the Pasadena Art Gallery Association
will have respective venue receptions, Saturday, October 9th
from noon to 5pm for the Colors of Catalina Exhibition.
A portion of all sales will benefit the Catalina Island Conservancy.
Above, the pastel painting Tuna Club, depicts the building
and deck that overlooks the shores of Avalon.
The Tuna Club, founded in 1898, is considered the first sportsfishing
organization of the United States. The Founders heavily promoted
conservation by strict fishing regulations, which is considered
the Club's greatest legacy.
Well known dignitaries and celebrities, such as Winston Churchill,
Charlie Chaplin and Bing Crosby, were members of the Tuna Club.
Today charter boats can be hired for search of the "big one" in
the deep waters. Incidently, the record catch to date is a 251 pound
blue-fin tuna by Colonel C. P. Morehouse in 1899, one year after
the conception of the organization.
And fellow blogger Julie Hill will be participating as well at the
Segil Fine Art Gallery. Be sure to check her watercolors out too!

Susan...isn't this just an exciting event...and a great cause too. Just incredible artists that we are in company with...It truly is a "don't miss" show for the four galleries! see you soon!
ReplyDeleteI rarely see any architectural paintings from you and both of these are superb! Your signature colorful skies work so well and create wonderful drama. Congrats on both the show and your "Artist In Residence" standing. Quite an honor!
ReplyDeleteHi, Susan. I really like your subject and the way the light bounces off the front of the buildings. It makes me want to pack a bag and fly to southern California
ReplyDeleteThis piece is beautiful, Susan. I love the colors and the lighting.
ReplyDeleteThank you to all.
ReplyDeleteStephen if you pack your bags, have to go to Catalina Island, so a bit farther but sure worth the trip!
