Mary Franchini & Lynne Armstrong

        Member artists Mary Franchini and Lynne Armstrong will present a combined creative offering in the windows of the Blue Whole Gallery for the month of October.   Wonderfully curated by a third member of their longtime Barn Sisterhood, Susan Gansert Shaw, Mary and Lynne sought a theme that would combine their different styles. What emerged? A whimsical, variously imagined group of paintings celebrating women and PINK!  This presentation takes place on First Friday October 5, 2018 from 5 to 8 pm. at the Blue Whole Gallery. Examples follow:

"Tulips" by Mary Franchini

"Ode to the Square" by Mary Franchini

"Chloe cutting artichokes" by Lynne Armstrong

"Mud Pies" by Lynne Armstrong

"Viewing in Mid Value" by Mary Franchini

"Strait of Georgia" by Lynne Armstrong

        This eclectic show will feature figures, landscapes (imagined and real) and lots of hats.  The artists Mary & Lynne hope the public will enjoy their joyous take on life and share their desire to "THINK PINK!"

"Lady with Flower" by Mary Franchini

  The artists wish to take this opportunity to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

THINK PINK!

Autumn Colors

    A change of season on the Olympic Peninsula is fast approaching and the Blue Whole Gallery will showcase two artists during the month of September that reflect those changes.  Debbie Cain carves and paints natural gourds depicting animals, nature and portraits embellished with pine needles, gemstones and fiber coiling which enrich her creations.  While Sally Cays is a realistic watercolor artist whose work reflects strong contrasts and colors depicting floral, still lifes, landscapes, portrait painting and wildlife.  Their work will be presented at the Blue Whole Gallery on First Friday September 7, 2018 from 5 to 8 pm. and throughout the month.

     Debbie Cain selects and prepares gourds to become a canvas allowing her to carve, sketch and paint images on the surface of each gourd.  Using various stains, wood burning and dyes she creates images that have depth and visual beauty.  Examples follow. 

"Baby giraffe"

"Critter in the trees"

"Rainbow bowl"

"Butterfly Gourd"

     Debbie's gourd artwork reveals images that are varied and detailed.  Her works are organic sculptures that can be enjoyed and admired.  The Blue Whole Gallery urges you to explore this interesting art form and meet the artist and her art at the Gallery on First Friday September 7, from 5 to 8 pm.

Watercolor artist Sally Cays

     Sally Cays is primarily a self-taught artist as well as a workshop teacher.  Using techniques and practicing skills Sally creates visual and realistic images of individuals as well as views of nature and floral compositions.  Examples of her work follow.
