Deborah Howard reception - tonight!

Come meet Deborah Howard and enjoy our Oyster bar at a reception for Deborah's new show, A New Season Begins, this evening at Left Bank Gallery in Wellfleet (25 Commercial Street).

The dynamic nature of Cape Cod and its ever-changing landscape is a recurrent theme in Deborah Howard's paintings. Her childhood on the Cape gave her the opportunity to observe and experience the subtle and significant changes of this environment. "I was able to watch how the light impacts color and feel the weather change as it approached from the horizon," she says. "It is a place I visit often, both in work and in my life."

Deborah Howard graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree from the University of Massachusetts and continued her studies at the Massachusetts College of Art graduate program. She has exhibited in New York and Boston.

It's party time!

They were a little nervous about breaking things, but Randy and the Oak Trees were a perfect addition to Left Bank Gallery! Many thanks to the band, and to everyone who came out on this cold, cold night. It was pretty worth it.

More pictures are on our Facebook page. Come see!

Kate Nelson on working small

"One would think a large painting would be more "work" than a small. But often that's not the case. The sensory impulse which draws me to create large sweeping gestures which are possible in a 4 foot canvas need to find an alternate outlet in a 8 or 12 inch piece. How to keep the freshness of a spontaneous mark and find richness in texture, color and form? A challenge. Overworking is an ever-lurking danger. Freshness with substance, there's the key.
"Small beautiful things impel us to pay attention, to halt the passage of time, to get lost in the details. Intimate. Accessible. Approachable. Affordable." - Kate Nelson

Odin Smith - Small Treasures

"Aptly named, the Left Bank's "Small Treasures Show" is like entering an artist's realm in a very accessible way. Creating little worlds is my way of giving the viewer the gift of place through my eyes. The paintings are like small gems, many of which can be hung, placed on shelves or in those tiny places that larger pieces can't go. They are also a great way for a first time collector to get an artist's work, or a special addition to an already established collection." - Odin Smith

Mary Bourke to Wellfleet

Every once in a while we move things around just to keep you on your toes. Most recently, we've moved all of Mary Bourke's paintings to the Commercial Street gallery, where she'll have her show next summer.

It's been interesting watching people respond to the art currently at Cove Road, in the Small Treasures show. With the majority of our artists represented in one place, our guests have an overview of what they may have missed in the two Wellfleet galleries.

And thanks to Douglas Karlson at the Cape Codder for writing such a nice article about our show! We're sure it helped - the gala opening was packed. We have pictures that we'll post soon.

Views of the Gallery

Here are a few shots of the Small Treasures show in the Orleans Gallery.

The official opening reception (Gala! Holiday! Opening!) is tomorrow evening from 4 to 7pm. Surely you can leave your turkey leftovers for a few hours and drop by for a visit?

Jim Holland's Opening

Here are a few pictures from Saturday night's opening on Commercial Street.
