Holiday Gift Show On Friday, November 29th the Hanford St. Gallery will kick off the Holiday shopping season with a presentation of Fine Art Crafts by 20 artists. With everything priced under $100 this is the perfect op-portunity to find that unique gift at an affordable price. From ceram-ics to tea towels and wood boxes to beeswax candles this irresistible collection offers something for eve-ryone on your list. Chet Chapin will offer turned wood bowls and toys for the little ones and Marilyn Baldwin's plates and dishes are always a delight. Andy Byrne's metal works are durable, good looking and useful all at once. Embroidered items by Ka-
ren VanDeventer will please both the eye and the purse. Soaps and beeswax candles by Marilyn Wentling and Wheat Weavings by Torie McDonald are straight from nature and the organic pottery of Steve Scaduto brings it own visual and tactile pleas-ures. The irrepressible Lorra Lee Rose is sure to delight with her creations and small sculptures by Laurie Williams will bring a smile. A children's book by Susan Ross and Barbara Alexander is a perennial favorite and photos on stone by Cynthia Biles will tease the imagination. Rare wood and burl boxes by Gary Ristrom will gracefully hold those small items on you dresser. Felted items by Shari Schreiber and small paintings from Karen Hale will look great under the tree and the riot of color in the glasswork from CHAOS by David and Heather Hopman will always find a place. Round it all out with a great selection of note cards and holiday cards by Bruce Peccianti, Lisa Ai-kenhead and Al Herrick and you may find your shopping chores completed in a single stop. Hanford St. Gallery located at 291 Hanford St. (next to the Days Inn) in Sutter Creek is open Thursday thru Sunday from 11am to 5pm and the show will run through Sunday, Dec. 22.

Abstract DesignsSutter Creek artist Ted Smith will be Gallery 10’s featured artist for December
Ted has been actively painting for over fifty years in oil, acrylic and watercol-
or. Recently he began exploring the realm of abstract painting.
Abstract art does not depict a person, place or thing in the natural world -- even in an
extremely distorted or exaggerated way. Therefore, the subject of the work is based
on what you see: color, shapes, brushstrokes, size, scale and, in some cases, the
process. Abstract art began in 1911 with such works as Picture with a Circle (1911)
by the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944). Kandinsky believed that colors
evoke emotions. Red was lively and confident; Green was peaceful with inner
strength; Blue was deep and supernatural; Yellow could be warm, exciting, disturb-
ing or totally bonkers; and White seemed silent but full of possibilities.
Ted feels he paints because "it's in his genes." He taught art for 10 years at Califor-
nia High School in the San Ramon School District and upon retirement in 1995,
moved to Amador County and began to study with painter Howard Rees. He has al-
so participated in workshops with Barbara Neches, Lynn Slade and
Jeannie Vodden.
As an active member of the Amador County Artists Association, and their coordinator for Art in Public Places,
Ted has shown his work throughout the county for many years. After years of painting traditional landscape type
pieces, Ted feels his recent experimenting with abstract images has enlivened his
work. For him, facing a blank canvas is always a challenge and there is nothing quite
like finishing a piece that leaves Ted emotionally satisfied.
Ted’s most recent abstract paintings, done in oil, acrylic and watercolor media, will
be on display at Gallery 10 throughout December. These are large, brilliantly col-
ored canvasses that portray what the viewer wishes to imagine.
The Gallery is open Thursday – Monday from 11:00 – 5:00. It will also be open most
Wednesdays during December. For further information, contact the gallery at 209-
657-0203 or visit the website at www.gallery10suttercreek.com
