Ever seasonal favorites, reds and greens take starring roles in several of the paintings. In Stolper’s stunning “Red Cloth” color is highlighted – the sumptuous cloth and delectable red cherries stand out against the gradated greens in this traditional oil still life. Shore’s watercolor, “Why Can’t We Be Friends,” takes the reds in a fanciful direction, celebrating friendship. In Schaffer’s oil painting, the red “Spice Flower” dances on a bed of jewel-like greens. Iconic Sonoma landscapes are featured in LaLand’s “River Bend” and Bird’s “Rocky Cliffs at Sea Ranch.” Sumner and Rapp bring us lovely watercolors of birds of the season, “Northern Cardinal” and “Fanciful Dove” respectively. Tobin-Charleston’s Winter Splendor, lovely quartz and crystal jewelry, sparkle and harken to the silver of our theme.
