The Oregon debut of "Estuaries and Quiet Places" opens with a champagne reception to meet the artist, Saturday, December 12 from noon to 5:00 pm in the Legacy Arts Terrace - School House at 151 NE Alder Street, Toledo, Oregon

Recently shown at the National Arts Club in New York City, this traveling exhibition, co-sponsored by the Yaquina River Museum of Art, consists of twenty paintings including the eleven small oils from which a 62” x 42” painting commissioned for the permanent collection of Mahonia Hall, the Oregon Governor’s residence, was created. Upon completion the studies, plus three more painted after the fact, were wrapped and stored. Painted in one estuary near Toledo, this is the first time to exhibit this body of work in Oregon. Six additional works from a private collection complete this phase of the presentation. The paintings will remain on display until April, 2010.
