Mistwood Studio Gallery

During September, Mistwood Studio Gallery features a 'Retrospective of Portraiture' by Kathleen Boyle Magnuson.

While studying art in San Francisco, Kathleen began rendering the human face and form. She says, "I find that the emotions and life experiences are revealed particularly around the eyes and mouth, as well as in the energetic elasticity, the rigidity, the soaring or drooping of the figure. The attempt to interpret the human state of mind in a variety of subjects is fascinating, as is the study of form revealed by light and shadow."

In the current exhibit, you will find portraits of young and old; moving from the purely natural to the visionary. Feeling that just one medium does not adequately express many different moods, Kathleen uses a variety. These include pencil, charcoal, pen and ink with wash, watercolor, acrylic and oil.
