BONNIE GLEASON is COAL's featured artist for July.
"I enjoy filling my paintings with color, light and depth. I also take pleasure in manipulating atmospheric conditions in order to capture a feeling or to set a mood. While my painting style fluctuates from realistic to painterly, the subjects of my watercolors come primarily from inspiration. I keep a camera in my car, just in case I find an irresistible scene that might become the subject of my next painting".
"I offer private classes in painting and conduct workshops in greeting card design. My paintings, prints and greeting cards are available directly from me. They can also be purchased locally at Carlsbad’s C.O.A.L Gallery (Carlsbad Oceanside Art League) and gift shops. I truly enjoy all of the opportunities that come from being a fine artist. I love to teach, participate in gallery exhibitions, and be asked to juror a show. I highly recommend the watercolor workshops that I have taken with such notables as: Terry Madden, Tom Lynch, Rikki Reinholtz, Duane Light, Gerald Brommer, Cathy Quiel, David Becker, and Walter Brunning".
The show runs from July 6 thru July 29.
