First Friday Artwalk: September 6th, 5:30 - 7:30 pm
Karin Clarke Gallery is pleased to present Rugged Land and Rocky Shores, showcasing long time local painter Bets Cole’s new collection of works. This large series of small- to medium sized plein air paintings on panel or paper stands out for the breadth of its geographical scope. It explores how shape, structure, and color vary from one coast to another. Departing from our Western shores, the works journey through the valleys, mountains and high deserts of Oregon and California, detour through Texas, then proceed to Maine and Ireland. “I’m excited about this body of work because it covers a lot of territory,” says Cole, “but the non-changing variable is me. I’m the one painting and interpreting.”
