Late winter pastel exhibit opens in downtown Pleasanton Updated: Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 7:12 AM Public show features trio of award-winning artists | |||||||
|
Just in time for a week ofValentine's Day celebrations in downtown Pleasanton, three artists who are signature members of West Coast pastel art societies are showing their "Love of Art in Pastel" paintings to the public at Studio Seven Art on Main Street. The exhibit, which is free to the public, features master pastel painters Debbie Wardrope, Bonita Paulis and Marla Baggetta. They're varying works show breathtaking landscapes, California vineyards and other colorful scenes. "Nothing matches the color and inspirations of pastels," said Dirk Christiansen, owner of Studio Seven Arts, which is hosting this late winter exhibition featuring bold and colorful works of the three master artists. "Our featured works by Debbie, Bonita and Marla typify some of the finest work in natural scenes." Debbie Wardrope is a signature member of the Pastel Society of the West Coast who also works in oil and acrylics. She teaches art through the city of Pleasanton for children and adults. Next Saturday, she will be at Studio Seven from 10 to 2 p.m. to demonstrate her pastel techniques and to showcase her latest works. Bonita Paulis, a signature member of the Sierra Pastel Society, has created paintings from a diverse collection of areas in the western U.S., from the High Sierra, to the California coast and the desert southwest. Marla Bagetta, who is a signature member of the Pastel Societies of America and Oregon, has been a professional artist since 1983 when she began painting the landscape. She is one of the West's' leading representational painters with her compelling and sophisticated imagery. Studio Seven Arts, one of the Bay Area's largest art galleries, has been voted by readers as the 'Best Art Gallery in Pleasanton' by the Pleasanton Weekly in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. In 2011, the studio was awarded the 'Best of the East Bay' by Diablo Magazine. The store is located at 400 Main St. http://www.zoomvillage.com/newsStory.cfm?newsID=2607 http://lifeinpleasanton.wordpress.com/
