two places on the 11-night Vienna to Berlin: the HeART of Central Europe

Academy Art Tour + Airfare, october 19 – 30, worth a total of $12,000.

Raffl e tickets for this exclusive tour are just $50 per ticket or 5 for $200! our

11-day journey from vienna to Berlin provides both an opportunity to discover the

spectacular trove of old master and 19th-century paintings assembled by the imperial

courts of germany and austria, as well as a look at how the cataclysmic political

changes of the post-War period have transformed these historic towns — particularly

Berlin — into vibrant, renewed centers of culture and art.

your tour includes three nights in vienna, two nights in Munich, two nights in

dresden and four nights in Berlin in centrally located, four- and fi ve-star hotels with

a daily breakfast buffet. For the raffl e only, even airfare is included! Two group

dinners and one lunch are provided as well.

read more about this incredible tour here!

L01 Jameson S. HubbardThe Bison’s Bread and BiTTer rooT

Woodblock Print (60" x 36")

Value: $700

“Plants, such as bitterroot and bread root, have disappeared from the landscape in many parts

of the West. The wild bison of the plains evolved with these plants so that both flora and

fauna were able to live symbiotically; the loss of these plants has caused many problems.”

L02 Jordan SokolUnTiTled

charcoal (16" x 12")

Value: $1,200

“We build a collective memory with the world through the stories, myths and emotions we

attach to our everyday surroundings. My paintings and drawings are a projection of my col-

lective memory, meant to trigger that of the viewers.”

Sokol is represented by Ann Long Fine Art.

L03 Emily WoodJUsT norTh oF hUg PoinT

oil on canvas (12" x 16")

Value: $1,500

“My travels take me throughout Washington, idaho, Montana and oregon and it’s in these

locations that i gather the inspiration for my landscapes. i find the visual play between

shadows and sun evocative and am very interested in exploring how they help to compose

the landscape.”

Wood is represented by Lisa Harris Gallery.

L04 Michael GrimaldisTUdy oF Male nUde, grisaille

oil on Panel (9" x 12")

Value: $2,000

“Study of Male Nude, Grisaille served as preliminary study for one of the central figures in my

piece 2010 Tattoine Dusk, featured in Visions: the Art of Star Wars by Jonathan rinzler.”

Grimaldi is represented by Arcadia Fine Arts.

L05 Daniel Mondaoil sqUirT cans WiTh aUger BiT


Value: $2,000

“The objects portrayed in my painting possess an intrinsic beauty beyond the light reflected in

oily stain and patina. Beyond the object’s functionality there exists a grace in design that is not

only visually stimulating but almost palpable, daring us to render them obsolete.”

L06 Peter Van DycksUnday FigUre

oil on museum board (20" x 16")

Value: $2,000

“This painting is a painted reaction to specific conditions of light and form focused on the

tradition of painting the nude figure. it is not a study but rather an interpretation of a class-

room environment and a painting event.”

Van Dyck is represented by John Pence Gallery.

L07 Norman Lundinriver Bank

oil on gessoed paper (12" x 18")

Value: $2,700

“The less you have, the more important what is there becomes.”

Lundin is represented by Francine Seders Gallery.

L08 Alaska Ahoy!Value: $3,000

Unplug from the world on a unique three-day adventure aboard a working container-ship

plying the gulf of alaska between anchorage and Tacoma. as the only passengers on board,

you have comfortable accommodations in the owner’s stateroom just below the bridge.

Upon arrival in anchorage you spend two nights at the hotel captain cook, anchorage’s

luxury hotel, while enjoying a historic tour of the city from salmon Berry Tours, with visits

to the anchorage Museum of art, history & science.

Restrictions: Passengers must be fit and independent. Limited to one adult couple between the dates of May 1, 2013 and August 31, 2013. Hotel accommodations not redeemable during the Hotel Captain Cook’s peak season from June to August.

L09 Susan Bennerstrom Oyster Beach

oil on linen (16" x 20")

Value: $2,800

“i work from my own photographs, which are themselves abstractions — one step removed

from reality. The paintings wander far afield of straightforward observations of reality, and

instead become my personal investigation of the places and objects depicted and the memo-

ries they evoke.”

Bennerstrom is represented by Davidson Galleries.

L10 Gary NisbetvioleTs

acrylic and collage on wood (24" x 24")

Value: $3,200

“These paintings feature forms drawn from the domestic realm of garden and table. They

explore the themes of growth and nurture in a process i call personal excavation. These

objects of daily life are repeated in a manner that ranges from highly detailed to skeletal. i

strip them bare and in this state, their pure and beautiful engineering for function becomes

most apparent.”

Nisbet is represented by Lisa Harris Gallery.

L11 Victoria JohnsonPhoenix rising

Pigmented resin on panel (24" x 36")

Value: $3,400

“My latest body of work addresses my fascination with spatial axes and my dedication to an

evolving personal language that treats paint as a constructive force for representation. each

painting is both a stable configuration and a study about degrees of expansion and contrac-

tion in motion. Multiple applications of pigment and painting mediums enhance the move-

ment and flow, which is the real content of the paintings.”

Johnson is represented by Lisa Harris Gallery.

L12 Jim Phalen Black PaPer

oil on panel (24" x 36")

Value: $5,000

“seeing and working perceptually has rigorous rules of the road. The material of paint is a

constant mystery and has no rules; it is, in essence, oily mud. The painter’s job is to bring

order and logic to a material completely lacking in such things. When these two contradic-

tions collide, great things can happen.”

Phalen is represented by Linda Hodges Gallery.

6]


L13 Gary Faigin sTill liFe WiTh The BlUes


Value: $5,000

“after years of painting landscapes plein air, in my Imaginary Landscapes series, i’m re-

exploring urban and rural landscape imagery, both hovering over towns and fields with

farmhouses in space and looking at them straight on. The combination owes something to

the abstract.”

Faigin is represented by Linda Hodges Gallery.

L15 Lyle SilverWeaTherBreak

oil bar on board (24" x 24")

Value: $2,500

“This painting was inspired by a wonderfully pleasant scenic drive on i-90, heading into the

mountains. i’ve tried to capture the human side with the majesty of the mountains in the back-

ground. getting into the mountains from the city is always awe inspiring; i never get tired of it.”

Silver is represented by Patricia Rovzar Gallery.

L16 Andrew HareleT’s Be Friends

acrylic on canvas (36" x 60")

Value: $2,800

“architecture is created by people, while environment and light are natural. The way the two

combine is what inspires me. i hope my paintings of moments captured in time, my unveil-

ing of obscure visual treasures, will inspire everyone to pause and look closer at their own

everyday surroundings.”

[7


L17 Juliette Aristidesroses

oil on panel (10" x 8")

Value: $2,800

“Utilizing the rigorous principles of classical realism, i seek to understand and convey

beauty and the human spirit through art.”

Aristides is represented by John Pence Gallery, LeQuire Gallery and Wendt Gallery.

L18 Craig Kosak Third Bridge


Value: $4,200

“it was my first visit to arches national Park and there had been snow earlier in the day.

The clearing storm and brightening skies brought out the ravens and inspired this portrait

of landscape arch. The experience occurred near the dawn of my career and guided the

development of many paintings. its influence continues to this day.”

Kosak is represented by Giacobbe Fritz Fine Art.

L19 Richard MorhousqUilT

acrylic on clayboard (24" x 34")

Value: $3,500

“My subject matter starts with observing the day-to-day visuals surrounding me that pique

my interest, curiosity and enjoyment. The interests change daily, but once a subject has been

decided, composition and process come into play, distilling, changing, exaggerating, like

dance steps rhythmically flowing, each movement leading to another.”

Morhous is represented by Lisa Harris Gallery.

L20 Kurt Solmssen sky, land and WaTer

oil on linen (22" x 24")

Value: $4,000

“in the late fall and winter, the sun sets over the Puget sound to the south, directly in front

of our house. each day the sunset is unique. as the sun falls through cloud patterns and sets

over the water, i have to paint quickly. if the image is not convincing, i will scrape it back

and try again the next day.”

Solmssen is represented by George Billis Gallery, NY.

8]


L21 Ted KutscherlaTe aFTernoon on TUrTlehead (orcas island)

oil on canvas and board (30" x 24")

Value: $3,200

“This painting started as a sketch i did while hiking the trail up to the top of “Turtle head,”

a knob on the west side of orcas island. i was entranced by the sunlight streaming almost

straight through the weathered fir trees and parched grasses of the hillside and by the bril-

liant marine-scape of the canadian gulf islands in the distance.”

Kutscher is represented by Silverwood Gallery.

L22 David Kroll eggs and Bird

oil on treated paper (121⁄2" x 221⁄2")

Value: $4,500

“My paintings are imagined, invented moments that touch upon humans’ complicated,

perplexing relationship with nature. i try to create an emotional and intellectual connection

— however fleeting — between the viewer and the power of landscape, the web of life, the

idea of nature itself.”

Kroll is represented by Grover/Thurston Gallery.

Value: $1,000

“Working on location, sometimes

for more than a year at a single

site, my brush both documents
