Spotlight on the hill – Capturing a Vision Fine Art

Many modern artists continue the tradition of sketching outdoors, en plein air. The Portuguese Bend Art Colony captured the Palos Verdes coastline with their oil, watercolor, and pencil sketches at all times of day and all four seasons. For the first time artists Stephen Mirich, Daniel Pinkham, Vicki Pinkham, Amy Sidrane, Kevin Prince, Thomas Redfield, and Richard Humphrey exhibited their oil paintings at the Palos Verdes Art Center. Each painting was paired with its preparatory sketch. Also on display were antique sketches from bygone eras courtesy of the Vanderlip Family, large paintings on linen and canvas of major discoveries courtesy of the Explorers Club, and an Olmsted Brothers Exhibit. The event’s denouement was the naming of the art center’s atrium after late benefactress Harlyne Norris.
