Don't miss the final opportunity to view a stunning art exhibit featuring Charles Beck's expansive paintings showcasing the scenic beauty of Sonoma County's coastal and inland areas. This captivating display, entitled "Sonoma County Landscape," is currently on view at the prestigious Laguna Environmental Center until December 22, 2023.
Charles Beck, a highly regarded artist, has immersed himself in the valleys, coastal hills, and cliff edges of Sonoma County to create these remarkable artworks. While some may recognize specific locations within the paintings, they are not intended as mere portraits, but rather a collective vision derived from Beck's extensive wanderings. Through painstaking dedication, Beck expertly manipulates shapes, colors, and compositions in his studio to achieve an exquisite interplay of light and dark, resulting in truly exceptional paintings. If a canvas fails to meet his exacting standards, it is painted over and the process begins anew.
As a longtime resident of Occidental, Charles Beck kindly welcomes visitors to his home studio during events such as Art at the Source and Sonoma County Art Trails, as well as by appointment. His artwork has been showcased in esteemed galleries and museums across the nation, including a notable exhibition of twenty large-scale paintings at Stanford University's Center for Integrated Systems in Palo Alto.
The Heron Hall Gallery & Gift Shop, situated within the Laguna Environmental Center, hosts three annual exhibitions of locally inspired, nature-themed art. By purchasing artwork from this gallery, you not only acquire a beautiful piece but also support the invaluable conservation efforts of the Laguna Foundation.
