Pam writes: The paintings are of subjects I have been revisiting & dreaming of visiting. There are interiors, still lifes & landscapes from Vashon; figure paintings, and quite a few Italian street scenes. I’ve still been hesitant to travel out of the country. It’s been both comforting and exciting to travel in a kind of dreamy way as I paint the light of different places.

Showing for December - Odie Hendershot
Closed for First Friday, but available other times with proof of tax and masks
Odie Hendershot writes, "I have lived on Vashon for 8 or 9 years. I’ve been doing art since I was a kid, so over 60 years. I lived most of my life near Santa Barbara, CA where I could paint outside most every day. Friends got together and helped me move to the island. God keeps pointing out natural beauty here for me to see almost daily as I ride my bike. This is how I get inspired to paint or play with clay. I hope you enjoy my show, all proceeds from my sold artwork will be given to Interfaith Church Council to Prevent Homelessness (IFCH)."
