Julie Hegedus has new palette knife and oil at Gallery Uptown, including "Sailboats".
It is with sadness that we post the passing of Gallery Uptown artist GG Havens-Reid in September of this year. GG has been a glass artist for over 40 years; half of those years she worked as a stained glass artist making stained-glass windows and kitchen cabinet doors. The other half of her time as a glass artist was focused on lamp-worked glass and making the beads with which she created original necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
GG will be very missed.
An image of an original oil painting of DeZwaan windmill in Holland, MI, created by Gallery Uptown member artist Lynne Boezaart was included in the latest book by local historian Wallace K. Ewing, Ph.D.
Although Lynne’s painting was created in her studio from reference photos, she has often painted the windmill and surrounding gardens “en plein air.”
...takes the reader on a virtual tour of the 81 state and national designated historic sites in Ottawa County. The book identifies not only seldom noticed sites, but tells stories that ignite our awareness of why that history is memorable. It also is a gallery of photographs and other images that unfolds the past and illuminates the present.”
