Sallie Wolf: Original Paintings for the Illustrations of “The Robin Makes a Laughing Sound”
Center Sandwich: Sallie Wolf’s newest book, “The Robin Makes a laughing Sound: The Birder’s Journal” was released earlier this year in February. The original watercolors used for the iluustrations will be exhibited for the first time at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery. Charming paintings of Towhees, Flickers, and Cardinals will be on view. Michelle Taft of Bayswater Books will also be here with fresh copies of the book for sale. Join us a t a reception to meet Sallie Wolf on August 4th from 5 to 7 p.m. at 69 Maple Street (route 113), in Center Sandwich.
Sallie Wolf lives in Oakland Park, Illinois and has spent her summers in Center Sandwich since you was a child. Her Panoramas and paintings of Squam Lake have gained her notoriety as an artist in our community. Last summer Hoag Island was the subject of a new series of work. Those panoramas will also be on view with a percentage of sales benefitting the Squam Lakes Concervation Society.
On Saturday, July 7th at 10 a.m. Sallie Wolf will host a workshop entitled “Discovering Your Creativity : Keeping a Journal/Sketchbook”. Wolf’s art and writing begin with her journals. Her large paintings start as tiny notations in watercolor on a small page . Her books begin in the same way. Participants in the workshop will bind together a sixteen page journal and then explore different ways to work in it. The workshop is free of charge but places are limited so please call the gallery at 284 7728 to reserve a spot.
“The Robin Makes a Laughing Sound: The Birders Journal” will be available at Bayswater Books in Center Harbor after the opening reception. Copies will also be available at the gallery.
