Calistoga Art Walk - Sue Reed

The third venue for the Art Walk is the Calistoga Roastery, 1426 Lincoln Avenue where the incomparable Sue Reed has a sampling of her paintings and jewelry.

Whether divined or channeled, her metaphysical designs soothe you and draw you closer. Even the bright yellow walls of the coffeehouse are no match for her paintings. And yes, she's got a harmonious line of fashion jewelry with pricing that's easy on the wallet.

Calistoga Art Walk - Philip Parker

Here is another one of the art shows that are part of the Calistoga Art Walk.

Philip Parker is showing his paintings at Bank of America, 1429 Lincoln Avenue. A prolific painter with a collection spanning 25 years, Parker stays close to home with landscapes painted the open air in Napa and Sonoma Valleys. No vineyard oils here though, with moody skies and muted tones, Parker brings his own perspective to each scene with almost abstract vagueness. A distinguished collection definitely worth checking out.

Calistoga Art Walk - Rebecca Dant

Calistoga's got a slammin' First Thursday Art Walk and the artists this month are stellar. They set the bar high so I'm making a point to trek up to 'stoga every month from now on.

Over at WestAmerica Bank, 1110 Washington Street, Rebecca Dant is exhibiting her latest pieces. She's taken a whole new approach this year in producing brilliant, uplifting, larger-than-life images of flowers from her garden and vegetabls and fruit from the Farmer's Market. She's confessed that the works are scanned images, but the simplicity of the concept does not detract from the beauty of the result. Indeed they are captivating.

To view the Calistoga Art visit any of the venues during regular business hours. For more info on the First Thursday visit http://calistogaartcenter.org/firstthursdayartwalk.html.
