Barbara Jaenicke: Creekside Reverie, winner of the August 2021 Plein Air Salon, is a modest little spot in my neighborhood along the area where I walk my dog. Some of my favorite painting subjects are often those nooks and crannies in the landscape. Mid-winter Thaw is another such zoomed-in subject. But I do live in a mountain town, where I love having the option to take it all in, as I did with February Color.

“From Dawn to Dusk”
National Nordic Museum
Seattle, Washington
nordicmuseum.org
through July 17, 2022
On view at the National Nordic Museum is “From Dawn to Dusk,” an exhibition of 56 paintings by Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish artists in the permanent collection of Stockholm’s National Museum.
Together these images trace the final decades of the 19th century, a period of radical development in art of the Nordic countries. They encompass scenes of everyday life, portraits, and landscapes created by such talents as Vilhelm Hammershøi, Carl Larsson, August Strindberg, Anders Zorn, and many others.
The project was curated by the National Museum’s Carl-Johan Olsson and has been coordinated in Seattle by Leslie Anne Anderson.
Beginning with the paintings of Nordic artists working in the realist style dominant in 19th-century France, “From Dawn to Dusk” then considers those artists who spent time abroad and returned home to see their native countries with new eyes.
This return launched a new approach to painting, particularly in the depiction of the landscape, a genre that has come to be regarded as quintessentially Nordic.
Around 1890, a national style developed. Nature and the countryside figure prominently in turn-of-the-century Nordic art, but “From Dawn to Dusk” also highlights the growing interest of Nordic artists in depicting the growth and activity of modern cities.

Susquehanna Art Museum
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Through June 19, 2022
Like the rest of us, the New York City artist Diana Jensen has not enjoyed the pandemic, but at least she has produced an intriguing body of work during this challenging period.
She explains, “After a few feverish nights with the COVID-19 virus, an idea came to me. A few years ago, a friend gave me 27 boxes of slides found in an Asbury Park [New Jersey] thrift store. These images document one person’s world travels. I felt this was the time to immerse myself — painting images of far-flung adventures as I sheltered at home. My series is an homage to the exhaustive slide collection and the adventures of one individual, but also a somber reflection of our collective loss of freedom during the pandemic.”
As Jensen created her series of “Where I wish I could travel” paintings, it was not her intention to duplicate the slides, but rather to visually interpret what these scenes meant to the original owner.
She notes, “Seeking the truth of the past, not simply historical record, I look for hidden expressions of intimacy and human interactions among the figures in the photographs.”
The resulting works were made on Mylar using the technique of reverse painting, and they vary widely in size. The Susquehanna Art Museum will display Jensen’s installation of them for a two-month period, hopefully inspiring visitors to start planning their own travel adventures.

Johanne Mangi: Sighthounds are fascinating to me and I welcome opportunities to see them in person as well as to paint them. I was taken by the emotion of this dog. Intense, anxious, trusting, soulful, complicated. Rescue dogs drag their past lives along with them while incorporating traits and emotions of new owners. Capturing all of that is the challenge. Accepted into Oil Painters of America 31st National Exhibition.

What is the most interesting thing you have painted/sculpted and why?
Angela Mia De la Vega: Some years ago, I was going through a very difficult time in my personal life.
I was immobilized, unable to move out of the situation. A wonderful group of friends and family (my butterflies) came to my rescue. Without them, I would not have been able to extricate myself from the situation.
To fly – to soar – we must know that we won’t crash and burn if we don’t succeed; we’ll have a safety net to catch us.
My butterflies caught me, lifted me up, and helped me move forward.
In honor of them, and the power of friendship, I created a sculpture, Lift Her with Butterflies.
What is the best thing about being an artist?
Angela Mia De la Vega: Over the years of doing my artwork, I have learned that when I create a work of art based on a story that I want to tell, my clients usually don’t know the story I’m telling, but they see their own story in my work.
My story is adopted as their story, and vice versa.
This creates a beautiful bridge, built upon the art, that leads to a lasting relationship.
These relationships are what inspire me every day, to create more, to sculpt more.

The Pastel Society of Colorado’s (PSC) 18th Annual Mile High International Pastel Exhibition opens April 9th and will be on display through May 21, 2022 at the historic Washington Hall Gallery in Central City, CO.
The opening reception and awards ceremony will be held on Saturday, April 9 and is open and free to the public. Exhibition judge and juror Christine Debrosky will share comments on the show and present the extensive cash and merchandise awards. The exhibit can also be viewed during regular hours at Washington Hall Gallery and all paintings are available for purchase.
This is the premier exhibition held by PSC annually and showcases 95 pastel paintings in a variety of genres – landscape, portrait and still life – rendered in realistic to abstract forms by some of the finest pastel artists today.
Debrosky selected the paintings for this year’s show from nearly 300 works submitted. “We are thrilled that Christine agreed to jury this year’s show,” said PSC president, Ivadell Marie. “Her impressionistic paintings have not only gained recognition throughout the U.S., they have also garnered artistic awards internationally.”
PSC will host pastel painting demonstrations in the Washington Hall Gallery on select weekends during the show. For a schedule of artists, dates and times see www.pastelsocietyofcolorado.com/shows.php.
“We encourage the community to enjoy viewing these paintings in person or online, and to learn more about the enduring pastel medium first championed by such popular painters as Degas, Renoir and Cassatt,” added Jeannette Stutzman, co-chair of the show.
