"San Francisco: Contemporary Watercolors by Katherine McGuire"
Opening Reception, Saturday, April 5, 1:00-4:00
Special reception performance by Cecilia's Flamenco Dancers, 3:00
Portola Art Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of an exhibition of new contemporary watercolor paintings titled “San Francisco” by artist Katherine McGuire. In her first solo exhibit at the Portola Art Gallery, McGuire has captured scenes ranging from familiar landmarks in San Francisco, to ordinary streetscapes along the Peninsula’s end. Among these vistas are rows of colorful houses along the Great Highway, ocean glimpses between homes along El Camino Del Mar, the Cliff House and the Palace of Fine Arts. The images are quintessential San Francisco with a strong sense of place. Katherine brings a contemporary, colorful palette to her paintings. The artwork includes traditional watercolor on paper as well as her unique watercolor on canvas technique.
.
In a special reception performance at 3:00, Cecilia’s Flamenco Dancers will perform the Sevillanas and the Fan dance accompanied by a flamenco guitarist. Sevillanas are a colorful, social, partner dance, one of Spain's oldest and most traditional dances - the Flamenco of the people. The second dance choreography incorporates the fan to enhance the visual effect of the Flamenco. Katherine has been taking Flamenco lessons from Cecilia Glower of Los Altos - Cecilia and her students will perform the dances. The Flamenco dances were chosen to highlight the 1920s Spanish architecture of the Allied Arts Guild.
