Some have called wanting directions to the gallery. We are right between 5 Guys and Mikado in the Bountiful Commons shopping center. If you are coming in on Interstate 15 take the 400 North exit. Come south on 500 West to your first right into the shopping center and we are right there. We hope to see you tonight.

Paul Cezanne study in ART CLASS

Today, being Veterans Day was a quiet day in Art Class. Our two students started their study of Paul Cezanne which will take a least two lessons to finish.

We are doing an impressionistic study of shape, and the students chose to paint Tea Sets.

It is really fun to see these pictures evolve as they do a sketch then block their colors and use concepts they learned in previous classes. We have just a few classes left before we take a break for the Christmas season.

Each of the students have progressed quite a bit this year. Painting is so relaxing and it is fun to see everyone enjoy their creations.

Cassandra Barney This Saturday !!!

Yes it's true, Cassandra Barney will be here this Saturday with her new Ex Voto collection. If you pre-order with us, you will be invited to have your art canvas embellished. That means Cassandra will personally add a touch or two of paint to your canvas so it is unique. Pre-order deadline is Tuesday at 8pm... You can call us at 801-296-0718 to place an order.

ART CLASS TODAY

Today in Art Class we were studying shadow and
light. We are replicating Rene Magritte's "Son of Man".

For those of you not familiar with that by name, it is the famous picture of a man with an apple in front of his face.

Today's assignment was to choose a piece of fruit, most choices were apples, pumpkins and cherries. Pastels were the medium and everyone in the class now has very colorful hands...pastel does wash off. After the class was finished their pictures looked very very pretty. They are becoming quite good at these different challenges and assignments.

ARTIST CASSANDRA BARNERY

Cassandra Barney has just released these fine art small works called Ex Votos, which means little expressions of gratitude. As explained by her publisher, Greenwich Workshop," Today Ex Vetos are most widely known as the folk art works created on tin and found in shrines across Mexico"

This first one is "Bounties of the Earth", for all of the gardeners who know the joy of a successful garden.

"These little artworks are painted out of gratitude for the miracles, protection and prayers answered not only in my life, but for many of us" says the artist.

The second one is titled "Dance" and the third one is called "To Never Ending Love". I find this last one particularly suitable for Wedding gifts.




We have them on display and available in our gallery. Cassandra will be at the Bountiful Gallery on Saturday November 13th from 6pm to 8pm. If you would like any additional information, please call the gallery at 801-296-0718.

We hope you will come and meet Cassandra.
