An message from Brenda Boylan (Solo show at Caswell Gallery)

Crossing the Perch 24x24" Pastel (studio)

Solo Shows don't come around very often, so come on out to help me celebrate this huge accomplishment!

"Passages"
Public Gala Opening & Pastel Demo
May 4th, 2012
5:30~9:00 pm
Caswell Gallery
253 & 255 E. Columbia River Hwy,
Troutdale, OR

Passages: This show is promised to be a great one with mostly plein air work and the occasional studio piece. The theme "Passages" was inspired by the many country roads, byways, and furrows as well as the more exciting urban street scenes that I have visited and painted. The Northwestern territory is the main destination, so come on out and travel through this visual documentation and you will not be disappointed!

I will be painting a demo piece (if I can only keep from visiting with others) during the opening.

See you there!
