Last Thursday was the downtown Seattle Art Walk. The dry, mid summer evening was perfect for taking in the local art scene. In the above photo, ceramic artist, Carol Gouthro, stands next to her piece titled Ripe #14. On display as part of a group show at the Pacini Lubel Gallery Scroll down to see additional images of Carol's work.
This group show features work from many of the gallery's amazing artists and I am humbled by the level of talent and quality of work represented. Here are some highlights from the evening... I have a few new paintings up in this show too.

One of the most interesting shows of the night was a two person show at the Shift Collaborative Studio gallery in the TK Arts building.
Artists, Rickie Wolfe and Kamla Kakaria, have come together to create a small but compelling exhibition. It’s worth a look if you have the chance.

Another show that stands out in my mind is at the Grover Thurston Gallery where they are featuring the work of John Randall Nelson and Marianne Pulfer. I love the naive folk art style of Nelson's paintings but what really makes them interesting is the scale – the actual size of the painting below is 60” x 60”
Falsely Innocent by John Randall Nelson - on display at Grover Thurston
I find it reassuring to see the arts flourishing and buzzing with such intensity. In spite of the economy and really, in spite of most things, art for art’s sake is alive and well in Seattle!
