You don’t want to miss the Mono Lake Committee’s new gallery show, A Distant Sparkle: The Mono Basin & Beyond, a colorful interpretation of the vast Eastern Sierra, captured by artist Ane Carla Rovetta’s brilliant pastel and soil paintings.
Ane Carla not only paints her landscapes on location, she paints WITH the location! Ane Carla uses stone, soot, soils and even pollen to create unique pastels and vivid artwork. A Distant Sparkle will be on display through July 31, 2014.
Mark Saturday, May 24 on your calendar—this is your chance to meet the artist and watch her create her fabulous pastels from Mono Basin soils. There will be a pastel-making demonstration starting at 3:30pm, followed by an artist’s reception with refreshments starting at 5:30pm.
Real nice work. Great to see a slightly different take on the Mono Lake area. Hope to see originals in person sometime. Keep doing them!
How long will the show be up? Am hoping it’ll still be there when I come for the June 7-8 Visions of the Past weekend.
Excellent work! Thanks for sharing. I hope to stop in and see your work in June. Hope it is still there.
Gretchen, This beautiful gallery show will remain through July 31. You will enjoy viewing it when you visit in June! See you then.
Excellent works. Good choice of color pallet and a subtle dynamism in composition. Lovely. Hope to see the show in June.
