"Wall Art Clearance Sale" • A New Exhibit with art from Bruce Jones

     The art of Bruce Jones will be featured at the Dolphin Gallery from October 8. An opening reception for the “Wall Art Clearance Sale” is scheduled for Saturday, October 8 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm at the gallery in Sea Cliff Center on Highway One in Gualala.

     Bruce Jones’ art is well known on the Mendonoma Coast, and the opening of an exhibit with his works always receives an enthusiastic welcome. Jones has worked in multiple disciplines, and that diversity will be on display. Included in this exhibit will be 21 pieces, all produced during the past three years, and in a variety of themes.

     Works of the garden will include a number of favorites, including sunflowers and begonias. Jones will also be displaying cityscapes, including a San Francisco watercolor. Both Horizontal and vertical pieces will be on display.

     Jones is an artist who’s explored a number of ideas and techniques. “I’ve always drawn and painted. When I was a kid I liked to draw and paint but was not happy with the way any of my art work came out. Then, late in my teens, I found that I could sometimes do art that satisfied me. I didn’t try to make a living doing art, but I always did it for fun and relaxation. My mother called me up in 1987 and suggested that we take a watercolor workshop together at Sitka, on the Oregon Coast. We took an excellent five day course and I’ve been drawing and painting regularly since.”

     The Dolphin Gallery is at 39140 Highway One, Sea Cliff Center, Gualala, 95445. Information is at (707) 884-3896 and at GualalaArts.org/Dolphin-Gallery.
