Laguna Beach Art Walk

Laguna Beach Art Walk

I had the opportunity to go on the Laguna Beach Art Walk last Thursday. I feel very fortunate to live 15 minutes away from some of the top galleries in the world. So, I thought I'd share some of the highlights with you.

We decided to start with the galleries in "Gallery Row" north of the main beach. Unfortunately, because of time, that was all we were able to see. Here are the highlights:

Gallery McCollum

Gallery McCollum displayed a beautiful collection of work by Caroline Zimmermann. I was mesmerized by her use of color and broad brush strokes.

Studio 7 Gallery

I love to visit this gallery on the Art Walk. You will always get the opportunity to see the artists painting in the studio.

Lynn Wiederman was working on a spectacular piece where the sun is setting behind some trees. The colors used in the sunset were brilliant oranges and reds. I am really looking forward to seeing this piece completed.

Lu Martin Galleries

Lu Martin Galleries featured paintings by Stephen Charles Shortridge. He has some striking pieces showing a piano set in a music room. The sunlight streams in through the window giving him the opportunity to use some brilliant yellows. Of course the yellows balance perfectly with the black piano. A must see if you're in Laguna!
