The show at Pacific Grove Art Center opened Friday night Sept. 7.  It is now Called the River, Night and Mourning.  The solo exhibit is a tribute to my sister Deborah Louise Moore Holden who died a year ago.  Most of the paintings are from close to the time of her death and the year following it.  I am celebrating her life, and trusting in Providence in all matters regarding her death; in painting that has often taken the form of  painting the Carmel River and not-so-far-off waterways of the Monterey Peninsula. Please check out their times and drop in to share with me as I remember my sister in my art work, which she always loved...
