Gayle Garner Roski
Watercolor Painter
The Glow of Italian Maiolica , 2007
Watercolor, 37 x 29 inches
A View of Gubbio, 2007
Watercolor, 58 x 38.5 inches
I enjoy watercolor. I like how Gayle Garner Roski used a very bright and colorful watercolor technique in her work. There is detail, and yet she keeps a feel and recongnizable element of the watercolor medium which I like.
Junn Roca
Oil Painter
Wild Irises
Oil on linen, 30 x 40 inches
Bodega Bay Harbor
Oil on panel, 8 x 10 inches
Afternoon at the Tower , 2006
Oil on linen mounted on board, 24 x 20 inches
I enjoy Junn Roca’s work because of the soft feel I get when looking at her paintings. There is an impressionistic feel to her work that I very much enjoy, reminds me of Monnet’s atmospheric effects in his works.
Lynn Gertenbach
Oil Painter
Twilight Reverie, 2007
Oil on Canvas, 36 x 48 inches
White Lilies, 2007
Oil on Canvas, 16 x 20 inches
I enjoy Lynn Gertenbach’s ability to capture the reflectiveness of water. She does a beauitful job in understanding, observing, and recreating how light looks on water in a reflective manor – very impressive to me!
Jeff Richards
Oil Painter
Texture, and impressionistic style impress me.
Paul Soldner
Sculpture (ceramic, Raku firing)
Untitled-20, 2006
Stoneware/High temperature wood fire, 24 x 18 x 10 inches
Comments: I really enjoy the coloring and near ‘metalic’ feel that this piece has, and yet all still very grey and earth tone. Very cool!
Untitled-19, 2006
Stoneware/Low temperature salt fire, 24 x 26 x 20 inches
I enjoy the expressiveness, randomness, and freedom that Paul Soldner’s work shows. I personally have a deep interest in ceramic, and find Raku firing to be especially interesting. Maybe due to the earth tones, the cracking, the burned look all are tell tale evidences of what the ceramic pieces have been threw in the furnace. I find Paul Soldner low temperature salt firings fascinating, mainly because the result is stoneware – truly amazing work!
