Elaine Bowers and Nancy Spinadel show their amazing artistic skills in this celebration of the agricultural abundance in the Sacramento Valley.

Nancy Spinadel's glowing oils concentrate on the intimate aspects of the valley's abundance, with portraits and still lifes of the products and people who populate this rich agricultural area. This show offers a delicious sample of the valley's visual beauty.

Classes & Workshops & Special Events
"Above and Beyond"
Friday evening, July 3rd, at 7 p.m.
Artists often go to great lengths to find artistic inspiration. Artist Elaine Bowers not only goes to great lengths, she goes to great heights! For the crisp accuracy captured in her aerial landscapes, she literally takes to the air. Soaring above the rich river valleys and fertile farmland of the north state, Elaine records what she sees below. Back in her studio, she produces dramatic paintings from the photos taken during those small plane flights. Join us for this Fourth of July weekend, and fly right along with the artist as she searches for the intricate patterns and shapes she later transforms into beautiful, breathtaking watercolors.
"Making Music"
Friday evening, September 4th, at 7 p.m.
That's exactly what artist / musician John Norman Stewart does exceptionally well. Influenced by musical greats Errol Garner & Bill Evans, John spent 60 years playing piano in various venues in the Los Angeles area. He also played "side-line" piano in many top movies, such as "The Way we Were," and popular TV series shows like "Mannix" and "Roots II." Enjoy John's vibrant versions of Swing era standards, melodic show tunes, gospel, classic film scores and jazz improvisations. Join us for a fascinating evening of music, enlivened with John's interesting "back stories" on the music he plays.
