2 artists, Carol Mead and Terri Hill, created the water colors for the show, “Cruz’n- Scenes of Santa Cruz” at the bay area Viewpoints Gallery in Los Altos, CA.
Beautiful, saturated colors enhance their images of summer – beaches, amusement parks, and boardwalks.
Lovely and fun.

Bay area artist, Arthur Okamura, 1932 – 2009, did screen printing, painting and drawing. His first exhibition was with Braunstein/Quay Gallery in 1981, showing works from his travels to Indonesia. “A tireless and gifted artist, Okamura had recently completed a body of Zen influenced paintings and drawings.

Even though its all make believe, I found it a little insensitive, mean and experienced pain every time a painting or a wall was riddled with holes.
The Guggenheim is still standing, in good shape and a perfect place to visit. There is currently an exhibit of over 150 works of art by Vasily Kandinsky, that take you chronologically through his Artistic transformation. The exhibit ends January 13, 2010
