"Morning Fog on Lake Shasta" by Yevonne Reynolds

24" x 18" colored pencil

Every year a group of ladies get together and rent a house boat on Lake Shasta, CA. We have been doing that for about 10 years now. I always take a lot of photos so when I get home, I have references to create the wonderful landscapes of that area.

"Cacique" by Sara Starr

6" x 8" high-fire tile

"Cacique" is a high-fire tile that I brought to La Penita, Mexico, as a gift to the gallery owner who hosted our plein aire oil painting workshop. Caciques are related to orioles and grackles, and several of them reside in the garden next to the house we rented for our trip. A fabulous bird! I hope to post some results from my workshop soon!

"Sox" by Sara Starr

watercolor

My friends Barbara, Clayton, and their kitty Sox are moving to New Orleans to start a new adventure. I painted Sox as a going-away gift. When we were between homes two years ago, my husband and I stayed with them for a week where I became well-acquainted with Sox, as he slept with us every night!

"Bunch of Grapes Tile Mural" by Sara Starr

tile mural

This tile mural of a grape bunch is created using cuerda seca, a technique from 15th century Spain, and high-fired glazes. Sara focuses on achieving beautiful, vibrant colors in a Cone 10 kiln (about 2300 degrees Fahrenheit).

Sara's annual tile exhibit takes place in November at the Fire Arts Center Gallery on South G Street in Arcata, California. She's been busy rolling, cutting, slipping, bisqueing, painting, and glazing tiles for the show. The show opens on Friday, November 12, during Arts! Arcata from 6-9P.
