I'll have a total of 6 pieces in the show. You can browse the gallery website here to see all the artist's work.
The reception is from 4-6 pm on Saturday, and I'll be there, so come on by.
I have been fortunate to work and paint with the other artists in this show, Sharon Calahan, Ernesto Nemesio, and Dice Tsutsumi.
Several of us have been together on trips into the back country of the Sierra wilderness over the last 5 years. We've also periodically met up before and after work in the east bay hills to paint, though there is no consistent schedule, as we're all busy with our day jobs on different projects. I can't speak for everyone else's personal motivations, but I will say that self-directed study in the arts has certainly benefited me, both personally and professionally. Its a lifelong pursuit, and unlike athletic pursuits, one can paint until you drop dead. In that regard, my heroes are Pam Glover and Rembrandt.

All drop dead gorgeous!
As always, superb.
Thanks to you, I spent a wonderful time this early a.m. reading about and watching utubes about Ms. Glover.
What a lady! What a lady painter! Thanks so much for the mention. Besides seeing beautiful art I always learn something here.
Anita-Thanks so much for your comment.
TJ- Pam Glover was a wonderful person. A real role model for many people that met her, or took her classes. I had only a few opportunities to interact with her in the last 12 years, but was knocked out by her level of energy and spirit, in her work and in conversation with her. She really raised the bar for how to live as an artist... especially as one grows up!
Really great paintings Bill! Sorry I couldn't make the opening. I wanted to go down and see you guys and the work but swim meet got in the way. I will get down there for sure before the end of the show, and feast my eyes on these gems~
Thank you for sharing your vision. Your work is absolute beautiful and inspiring.
