naturalistic painting

"AutumnScapes" at Tahoma Center Gallery, September-October by JW Harrington

The Tahoma Center Gallery has invited me back to present a show titled “AutumnScapes.”  I’ll show land- and waterscape paintings in acrylic and in oil, featuring scenes from the Northwest.  I revel in abstract painting, but it’s impossible to live in this wonderful region and fail to use the settings for naturalistic paintings.

The show will go up the week of 12 September, and will be up through October.  Another area of the gallery will feature some of my larger black-and-white abstractions, as well.  The gallery is on the second floor of the Catholic Community Services building – the grand old St. Leo School at 1323 S. Yakima Avenue in Tacoma.  We’ll have a reception during the Tacoma artwalk on Thursday 15 September, 4-7PM.  The space is open 8:30 – 5 on Mondays through Fridays – just come in the main entrance and ask the receptionist for the artwork upstairs.
