Group and exhibition coordinator Bart Charlow notes, "Though we've left the trees, they never left us. They shelter us, they provide food, and they feed our souls!" Trees are nobly honored in pigments with an expansive show of paintings in oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic, gauche, and ink on silk.
"En plein air" is the art term for painting from life outdoors. Sometimes it's a panoramic view, others just a vignette, but always full of light. Capturing light and shadow, as well as the breadth of color in a scene, is a challenge. With the movement of the sun and changes in the weather, though the trees stand still, the light is always moving and effects can be fleeting. The paintings in "Canopy" were composed outdoors in local settings on the Peninsula; viewers will likely recognize several of the sites.
