OCTOBER FEATURED SHOW

Featured Artist - Jackie Bush-Turner
 
Title:   Journeys and Stops Along the Way
 
On my daily journeys I'm always on alert for places that make me stop along the way, and invite me to paint them.  It can even be the same place on a different day. The nuances of light and shadow, tidal changes, seasonal transitions all provide an unending source of impressions I choose to paint. Beaches. estuaries, parks, wetland trails are all possible stops along my daily journeys on Hwy 3 from Grapeview South to Shelton or North to Allyn and Belfair.
