The gallery press release states: "In this new work, Grosowsky returns to his familiar themes of figures and landscapes, but with some significant changes and a fresh perspective. There is a sense of light and a brighter palette ... a softer, more romantic mood. ... The human figures are more varied and there are lots of animals -- cats, dogs, birds. A number of these paintings have a narrative quality."

Lee Imonen Sculpture "Bountiful" at Delta Ponds

Lee Imonen, sculpture instructor, has just installed his sculpture "Bountiful" next to the new Delta Ponds Pedestrian Bridge in Eugene. He was featured in a recent piece on KEZI-TV, a local Eugene television station. The sculpture refers to a Native American fishing method with poles and a fishing net. Imonen states: "I want the net to look full, like it's just been pulled out of the water. And so it's this bountiful harvest that signifies that return and reinvestment of Eugene to this natural area." The sculpture is part of the city's 2010 Public Art Plan.
