Sonoma County artist, Beverly Bird, presents Seas, Trees and Vines a collection of paintings that highlight Sonoma’s jaw dropping natural beauty. Golden Hour at Sea Ranch glows as the late afternoon sun shimmers over the ocean. Shoreline drama is captured in Sun and Fog a painting of Goat Rock Beach. Russian River Vineyard presents an expansive view of an autumn vineyard with late day dynamic shadow patterns. Working in oil, acrylic, or watercolor Bird brings the viewer in touch with the wide variety of local color and drama found in nature. “With the dawn of each day, one quick look outside makes me feel so lucky to call Sonoma County home,” commented Bird.
A third-generation Californian, Bird has loved making art since childhood. Studying art through her school years, she earned a B.A. in Art from Cal State University Long Beach. After a fulfilling career in government, she began painting full time upon retirement. Bird has exhibited widely and is a long-time participant in the Art at the Source open studio program.
Meet the Artist: Bird will be hosting the Gallery March 20 & 27, 2024 11 am to 6 pm.
The Stairway Small Works Showcase presents Donna Schaffer’s For the Birds, a collection of oil paintings depicting California birds. The small paintings are beguiling bird portraits, including an Anna’s Hummingbird feeding her young and a Flicker feeding on red berries. Complementing the small works, Up, Up and Away is a large dramatic piece depicting dozens of larger birds taking flight. Schaffer’s exhibit gives us a “bird’s eye view” of these delightful denizens of our local habitat.
Meet the Artist: Schaffer will be hosting the Gallery March 10 & 24, 11am to 6 pm.
