Did you know?
Taste of Colorado was originally named Festival of Mountain and Plain and established in 1895 as a carnival similar to New Orleans' Mardi gras, the Festival was created to boost the city's morale and vitality following the silver panic. The event, unsuccessful in ending Denver's depression and declining in attendance, folded in 1902 when organizers were unable to obtain financial support. In 1983, the Downtown Denver Partnership decided to bring back the spirit of the original Festival to commemorate the opening of the 16th Street Mall. The following year, A Taste of Colorado was added to the Festival of Mountain and Plain name and concept and moved back to Civic Center Park in Downtown Denver, where the event first began.

| | | | | S Pinto Souza - Birdsall Houston | | | Thornwood Gallery | | | September 6, 2008 – September 23, 2008 | | | Location: Birdsall - Houston | | | | | | Thornwood Gallery is excited to announce its September exhibition featuring artist S. Pinto Souza.
The show, entitled, "TOITS DU NORD, TOITS DU SUD" (Roofs of the north, roofs of the south) draws its inspiration from Silvia's recent visits to France and Spain. Silvia states "I concentrated mainly on "roofs" because that is what fascinates me the most in French architecture. I am also very captivated by the very strong contrast between the brightness of the enormously tall white walls against the blue sky, and the very dark and sharp shadows. I find these tall walls so impressive, as if they had an almost noble bearing. You look up to them, as if they always had a grand story to tell you of their genteel beginnings, and of the people who built them."
S. Pinto Souza is best known for her works in acrylic paint and mixed media on canvas.
Her work is included in corporate and private collections throughout the U. S. and abroad.

John Adelman of Houston, Texas, creates highly conceptualized outline drawings of various found objects. His technique is unique.

He then meticulously traces each nail, puts them back in their original container and counts and records as he works, wherein he gets the titles for his pieces. | | |

Paintings by Jennifer O'Connell and Edward Trask
September 12 - October 14, 2008
Reception with the artists
Friday, September 12
6-9 pm
This dual artist exhibit opening at Adam Cave Fine Art on Friday, September 12, 2008 is a bit like watching a road less traveled where someone has just been. Edward Trask paints scenes of country and city highways and byways that might take you right to the rooms in Jennifer O’Connell’s houses.
Each of these artists has brought us into their interior space or along their road – nostalgic worlds where, despite the absence of people, we are never really alone. We know that someone, maybe even the artist, is present, not visible – over that hill or in the next room.
Their palettes are similar, warm comfortable colors. Familiar furniture, lamps, plants and flowers live in O’Connell’s rooms. Her paintings have a strong sense of intimacy that comes from painting real parts of her life. For Trask, street lamps, telephone poles and old buildings exist on his roads under skies full of unexpected patterns and colors. Strong lines give these landscapes energy.
Although O’Connell hails from Massachusetts, she received her MFA from the University of New Hampshire and traveled widely. She studied painting at the University College Chester in England on a Giltz family traveling fellowship, did residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, and has work in the SUNY Plattsburgh Art Museum. O’Connell has exhibited in national and international venues including the Fraser Gallery in Washington, DC and the Bowery Gallery in New York.
By contrast, Trask made a name for himself in his hometown of Richmond, VA in an unorthodox manner, painting murals around the city without permission. Many of these have become local landmarks. Some have been taken down and hung in homes and, like the oil paintings of this VCU graduate, have become highly collectable. Trask also traveled to Europe, but unlike O’Connell, he was on tour with a punk-rock band, mentally taking notes for later paintings. Ed is a drummer who keeps a set in his studio and translates rhythm into his art as well as his music.
INSIDE OUTSIDE will be on exhibit through October 14th. | | |

| | | | | Sylvia Adamcik - The Cave of Shadows | | | Impressions Art Gallery | | | September 16, 2008 – October 7, 2008 | | | Location: Impressions Art Gallery | | | | | | The Cave of Shadows is an investigation of the allegorical cave set forth in The Republic of Plato. The central visual concept guiding this investigation is one of individuals bound in a dark cave in front of a wall of shadows, symbolic of a false representation of reality. One may only escape the limitations of the cave by engaging in a long and tortuous intellectual journey, with the intention of reaching a higher realm of understanding and truth. The stark contrast of light and dark within this collection of figurative studies serves to illustrate the importance of the pursuit of enlightenment. | | |

| | | | | Joyce Combs - Houston | | | Thornwood Gallery | | | October 25, 2008 – November 26, 2008 | | | Location: 2643 Colquitt | | | | | | Joyce Combs presents glowing, color infused abstract paintings that compel the
viewer to be introspective…rather like taking a moment to reflect on large ideas.
Similar to hearing a piece of music that makes you stop in your tracks, Joyce
Combs’ large canvases make use of color and texture to reflect the force of the
natural world. She is interested in the psycho-social dimension of the human spirit,
and her work successfully…”shows the complexity of life in layers of time, aging,
and earthly beauty.” Thus, she likes to weather the surfaces of the pieces she paints
by layering on oils with different consistencies, always with an eye to the power of
color to evoke perceptions of inspiration and universal order. Ms. Combs was born
in Southwestern Oklahoma. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree from
Oklahoma State University, then later studied at the Glassel Museum School, the
academic wing of the Museum of Fine Arts of Houston, Texas. She began painting
and producing monoprints in the mid eighties, and several production companies
contracted with her to sell prints to corporate clients and decorators all over the
country. Her distinctive style has been a mark of her success at staying true to her
talent and passion. Galleries in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Fredericksburg Art Gallery carry her work. Joyce Combs has an international reputation, in addition to her acclaim here in the United States. She now lives in Fredericksburg, Texas. | | |

| | | | | Maxine Price - Birdsall Houston | | | Thornwood Gallery | | | November 7, 2008 – November 25, 2008 | | | Location: Birdsall - Houston | | | | | | Opening reception with the artist Friday, November 7th 6-9 pm
Maxine Graham Price grew up in a military family and moved with them to many postings in the southern and eastern climes of the United States as well as Germany. Being a shy child and finding it difficult to make new friends easily, Price found the one constant in her life, other than family, to be her ability to draw and paint.
Price received her BFA degree in Art from the University of Texas at Austin and over her career has pursued various aspects of art including being a book designer, a fashion illustrator, an interior designer, a graphic artist, a portrait artist and a painter showing in numerous galleries and juried shows in the Southwestern United States. Many of her portraits hang on the campuses of The University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, and St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio. Her original oil paintings are in numerous corporate and private collections throughout the United States, Mexico, England, Germany, Japan and Bermuda.
While still doing an occasional portrait, Price decided in 1992 to make creative painting a full time pursuit and began a journey of experimentation and exploration, working with various mediums including watercolor, acrylics and liquid inks. Several years ago, during a visit to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, she began noticing abstract patterns in the ancient walls and began a series of abstract paintings, in oils with palette knife, inspired by the colors and textures of old San Miguel. Thus began a love affair with oils, the palette knife and abstraction that continues today.
“ Maxine Price works in many different series but works equally well in them all. One reason for this is the evolved and consistent level in which she works. Price has great facility with her chosen technique, an instinctive sense of color and harmonic composition. Her choices, placements and handling of deep saturated color are inspired and cannot be taught. Her work is always fresh, alive and never overworked. This comes only from experience. Price makes the most of the impasto effects and has a sure and confident gestural hand. These paintings have great appeal and the sculptural effect of the paintings provides them with a corpo and presence that gives them the impression of being objects themselves.”
