“My painting style is Impressionist, using loose brush strokes and vibrant colors, to capture the fleeting changes in the landscape. My favorite medium is oil on panels using brushes and palette knife.” Contact the artist at j.woled@sbcglobal.net.
This painting was commissioned for the 2018 Pops in the Park concert series. Anthony discovers sometimes unlikely subjects from his daily activities – walking, bike riding and playing in a band. His paintings are noted for their bold colors and light and shadow, in both oil and iPad. Visit the artist’s studio at ARTHOUSE, 1021 R Street or anthonymontanino.com
Marcy Friedman is an incredible talent, emerging from the creative shadows in Sacramento. Her work, influenced by such greats as teacher Wayne Thiebaud, is entirely fresh, original and captivating. Visit marcyfriedman.com.
“I enjoy creating views that express whichever season it happens to be. These views are often the farmlands or natural wildlife areas in our region. Sometimes creating images with specific or limited color schemes offers a welcomed challenge. As well, I enjoy the challenges in unusual compositions or perspective in a variety of mediums.” Visit dianajahns.com
When I ask Jeff Gephart what made him move from Maryland to Sacramento, he chuckles and says, “I like to tell people I killed a guy.”
Gephart has a wicked sense of humor (he used to perform in a weekly sketch-comedy TV show), and he knows how to spin a yarn. The Pittsburgh transplant is a prolific writer of poetry, short fiction, screenplays and novels. His third book, “Accidental Adulthood: One Man’s Adventures With Dating and Other Friggin’ Nonsense,” was published last year. And no, it’s not quite an autobiography.
