J. Howell Fine Art: Fact and Fiction: Art Opening
August 28, 2008 · Written by Jennifer
J. Howell Fine Art presents “Fact and Fiction” featuring artists, Pamela Carroll and Robert Bradshaw. September 5th through September 21st. The opening is reception is on Friday, September 5th from 5-7 p.m.
Robert Bradshaw has developed an unusual style of painting utilizing both ink and acrylic paint. He describes his work as ‘Figurative Expressionism’. Because the ink dissolves itself, his paintings are subtractive works, creating beautiful layers and textures. He introduces characters whose spirits are bared primarily through their poses. Although he claims he never has a story to tell, his aim is to engage the viewer and to impose the image on their imagination.
Pamela Carroll embraces the traditional focus of realism and pictorial illusionism. Her painting style has been greatly influenced by the early Dutch masters and the American realists from the Second School of Philadelphia. The objects she chooses to paint have personal meaning and their placement and visual relationships are strategically planned and set up in her studio where they catch light, create shadows and reveal their natural wear and tear. She loves old things with their rust and age and histories written all over them.
Where: J. Howell Fine Arts Gallery, 101A Plaza Street (map).
Date: Friday, 5 Sept 2008
Time: 5-7 PM

I spent last weekend in San Francisco. I was at a conference on Saturday, then just spent some time trying new things on Sunday. Nice. But, as a result, am now a bit late with the What’s Happening Healdsburg column for this week.
At least I’m on time for this weekend. Here’s a few things to start.
Friday, 21 August 2008, 9PM-whenever. Pa Bobo Jobarteh, Gambian Kora Wizard, and Griot is returning to Healdsburg. Steve Pile will join in on guitar and kora. Palette-Art Cafe. 235 Healdsburg Ave (map).
Friday, Saturday, Sunday 21, 22, 23 August 2008. All day. This weekend is the Downtown Healdsburg Merchant Sidewalk Sale event. Start Saturday at the Farmer’s Market, then stroll about and seek out tangible bargains from the sidewalk sales.
Saturday, 22 August 2008, 11AM-4PM. The Sonoma County YWCA will be holding its annual cycling event: ‘Break the Cycle‘. Come out to the Windsor Town Green for the summer jam following the ride.

This week, it’s Poor Man’s Whiskey (which I kind of like the sound of out here in wine country). I have it on the word of KC Mosso over at Ravenous, that it’s going to be a foot stompin’ good time.
Wednesday, 13 August 2008, all day–in fact, every Wednesday this August, Costeaux is rolling back their prices on certain bread products to 1923 prices! Get on down to Costeaux to try some original bread 1920s recipes and pay only what you would have then (while supplies last).
