Saratoga galleries plan new shows
Gallery Saratoga, at 14531 Big Basin Way, Unit 3, presents an exhibition titled "Tranquil California" by its featured artist of the month, Marta Szoboszlay, a local teacher and artistic demonstrator. The show, which runs July 1 through 31, consists of paintings in pastel and watercolor that reflect the tranquillity and beauty of the natural world of California.
The public is invited to a reception for the artist on July 15 from 1 to 5 p.m. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call 408.867.0458, or visit www.gallerysaratoga.com on the Internet.
Aegis Gallery of Fine Art, which shares the same address as Gallery Saratoga--save for its designation as Unit 2--is also gearing up for a July exhibition. From July 2 through 29, its featured member artist Bonnie Epstein will show "California Afternoon"--17 new watercolor paintings of landscapes, hiking trails, vineyards, rivers and gardens, including Hakone and Gamble.
A native of Southern California, Epstein says her favorite painting topics are a result of growing up in a neighborhood with many large lots and few children, thereby giving her time to be alone with nature.
A public reception for the artist takes place July 10, from 7 to 9 p.m. Regular gallery hours are Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Call 408.867.0171.
