A Treat for The Eyes, and the Spirit

Four members of our group made it to Sabina's opening last night at the Portland Japanese Garden, and it was well worth our time! What a beautiful exhibit! Both the artwork and the setting were just wonderful. The atmosphere was celebrative, but serene. Everything was beautifully exhibited, with gorgeous Ikebana flower arrangements gracefully placed among the displays.

Of course, I'm being completely impartial when I say that Sabina's work was the best (sly grin)! But seriously, we were so thrilled to see completely new work from Sabina, as well as some of our all-time favorites. And some of the other artists blew us away too! It makes me even more excited in anticipation of our own show coming up in October!

My advice: stop reading this blog, get up and go to the Japanese Garden.... NOW!!! You won't regret it.

September 12-20 the exhibit in the Garden Pavilion is free with admission to the Garden.

Tonight!

Tonight is the reception at the Portland Japanese Garden for the opening of their new exhibit, "Translations: Art Inspired by the Portland Japanese Garden."

Sabina's watercolor work is being featured, and Eddy and I are going to attend. It should be fun, rubbing elbows in the art world. I'll report on the whole thing here.

Meantime, plan to attend this beautiful exhibit. It's there until September 20th.

Art in the Garden

Sabina Wohlfeiler writes:

On Friday, September 11, 2009, the Portland Japanese Garden will open an exhibit and sale called "Translations: Art Inspired by the Portland Japanese Garden." Twelve artists, including myself, will be represented by paintings with a garden and/or Asian aesthetic. Flowers by the Sogetsu School of Ikebana will compliment the display in the Garden Pavilion.

An opening reception will be held Friday from 7-9 pm, and the exhibit will be on display through September 20th.

The Japanese Garden is a beautiful place which continues to inspire and nourish my creative spirit with every visit. I hope it will do the same for you! Please come to the reception if you are able.

Sabina.
