COOL COLORS

The seductive deep blue of the sea, the tempting green of fresh apples and timeless grey-green lichen-covered rocks, share wall space with abstract works pulsing with yellows and glowing with turquois.  Michael Culver’s Blue Storm is shown in this post.  This talented group of artists also include Chris Alexander, Holland Bartsch, Brenda Bettinson, Paul Feyling, Marek Halter, John Lorence, Genetta McLean and Phyllis Rees. Photography, painting, lithography and silkscreen printing impress with their expert level of execution. Several small bronzes which are finished with a green patina add their weight to this celebration of the coolest part of the color spectrum.http://www.boothbayregister.com/article/cool-colors-are/70921

School House Pond Preserve Adoption by MFA

With the adoption of Schoolhouse Pond Preserve, Mathias Fine Art has not only made a financial contribution to BRLT, but will assist in the stewardship of the preserve.”
