"Into the Woods": An art exhibit about connecting with nature
Vivid paintings of local forests, trails and natural landmarks by Port Townsend artist Patricia Hagen beckon in this exhibit at Northwind Art's spacious gallery. For this one-woman show, Patty painted many of these en plein air, inspired by her surroundings in green, woodsy Port Townsend and Chimacum. Owls, deer, old-growth trees — and an observant human — share the space on her canvases. "Nature reveals itself as both nurturing and commanding, whether viewed from a mountain peak or an ancient forest path," says Patty. Her exhibit of more than 40 paintings and ceramic works is on view through July 7; the gallery is open 12 noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays, and more information is found at Northwind Art's website, NorthwindArt.org. Art Walk on June 7 and July 5 means the gallery stays open till 8 p.m.; Patty will give a free artist talk open to everyone at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 8.
Northwind Art gallery shows are always free to the public.
