SAQA Exhibit: Tranquility and Turmoil at Grants Pass, OR
I was thrilled to be in Grants Pass when SAQA‘s Tranquility and Turmoil at the Grants Pass Museum of Art was showing.It was top-notch! I lingered for a few hours and was able to talk with and observe visitor reactions. There was a lot of “How’d they do that?”!
It was hard to cull my photos down to just 30. Of course I had the usual group of photos unfit for sharing. It was a pleasure to immerse myself in the show and observe details. Here we go:
Flowers of the Vine, Frances Holliday Alford
Succulents, Aileyn Renli Ecob
Whooper Reflection, Judith Roderick
River View, Jette Clover
Flown, Wen Redmond

Come Sit with Me, Patrick Caulfield, Heather Dubreuil

This was a very subtle piece, one I enjoyed immensely. My photo does not capture it well.

Yes Linda, thet was a lot of impact there.
What a wonderful show! Thanks so much for posting!
It was a fabulous show!
That looks like a wonderful show! I’m glad you drove up and could enjoy the scenery, too. I am catching up on keeping up now that school’s out.
It was such a great show – I was thrilled to be able to see it.
Jenny, thank you so much, as always, for your thoughtful observation and comments. By the way the title of my piece is Mother Serves the Turkey II
So sorry! It’s fixed. Thank you so much for the heads up!
Beautiful quilts, thank you for sharing!
I’m glad you enjoyed them!
I appreciate you taking the time to share these works with us; so interesting to see shows further away than our own backyards.
I had to share this one Laceflower. Glad you enjoyed it!
A lot of moving quilts here, especially The Doffer Boys. Thank you for sharing them with us!
Yes Shasta, the Doffer Boys really hit me in the gut too.
A feast for the eyes! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it Claudia!
I recognize a couple of those pieces from Paducah Quilt Week — Donald in Light was just mesmerizing in person; so much power and emotion conveyed through fabric and thread! And the realism achieved through raw edge applique of the foamy waves crashing on the beach in Morning Walk was amazing, too. I’ve never seen any of the others, though. You find the most amazing quilt shows! Thanks for sharing. I’m off to google the Doffer Boys!
Oh yes, the Doffer Boys, a tragic story. Glad you enjoyed the photos! It was such a good show.
