Carol Tarzier's painting "Skies over 101 South" can be seen at the Oil Painters of America Western Regional Exhibition, to be held at Mary R. Koch Arts, Wichita, Kansas, October 15th through November 27th, with the reception Friday October 15th, 5:30-8 pm.
Carol Tarzier is Featured Artist in October with “Seas and Skies,” October 1st-31st. Carol was juried into the Telluride and Sonoma Plein Air events this year, as well as into group shows featuring the California coast. Her show features works based on her Plein Air trips to Colorado, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County. In Carol’s words, “I’m inspired by the natural open spaces – the skies I see across the West and in Colorado and Utah, the sunsets over the Central Coast, the evening light in Northern California. And I love the movement of the ocean waves against the rocks. I try to get this movement and energy in my paintings.”
Join Carol at the Gallery on Saturday October 9 from 2-4pm and on Saturday and Sunday, October 16th-17th and October 23-24th.
Please contact Carol directly via email at carol@tarzier.com, visit her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CarolTarzierFineArt
