The Portola Art Gallery presents “Light and Memory” — a retrospective exhibition of watercolor paintings by Bay Area artist Bruce Washburn. The show reflects Washburn’s ongoing exploration of both natural landscapes and distinctive urban settings in the Bay Area and beyond.
Washburn said, “The places depicted in my work are special to me, yet often familiar to others. Some viewers may have equally strong memories of the subject, though, very different from my own. I find that kind of connection especially gratifying.”
“Light and Memory” is on view through the end of January. A reception for the artist is scheduled for 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10. Visitors can also meet Washburn at the gallery on Wednesday, Jan. 14; Wednesday, Jan. 28; and by appointment.
Portola Art Gallery is located within the Allied Arts Guild, 75 Arbor Road, Menlo Park. For more information call (650) 321-0220 or visit www.portolaartgallery.com.
