“Botanical Paintings – Tenacity Versus Talent” by Mary McCaffery shows at Logos Books from July 31 to August 27. Mary McCaffery has been in Davis since 1993. When she began learning about watercolors in 1986 all of her teachers would say, “No Mary, more color, bigger brushes, forget the detail”. Well as it turns out, she loves the detail. Starting with very simple brush strokes, practice, and detailed observation, she tries to capture flowers and vegetables with unique personalities.
On a painting trip a watercolor teacher commented, “I think you might be a botanical painter.” Researching books on the subject prompted Mary to conclude that her interest does, in fact, lie in the details. She enjoys the level of observation necessary to complete each painting. She has attended classes at Filoli in Woodside and with Catherine Watters in Orinda. Working primarily in watercolor, but also using colored pencils and graphite, she creates exquisite portraits of plants and fruits. Contact the artist at [email protected]
There will be a meet-n-greet reception at Logos Books on Friday, August 13, from 6pm to 8pm. All are welcome to drop in and meet Mary! She will have giclee prints and greeting cards available for purchase. Face coverings will be required of all attendees except children under two years old.
The Pence Gallery, right around the block at 212 D Street, will also be hosting a public reception on Friday, August 13, from 6pm to 9pm. They will have three exhibits on display: Slice, Exhibit It!, and Yolo Visions 2. Join them for a night of art and wine, plus a free hands-on art activity open to all attendees!
