September in the Pacific Northwest has a particular quality that everyone who lives here recognizes and most cannot name. The light changes — flatter, warmer, longer in the way it touches horizontal surfaces. The sky is the same blue but a different temperature. The water goes from summer's pewter to something more amber.
Lolly Shera and Lisa McShane have both built bodies of work around this specific phenomenon — the golden hour as extended condition, as season, as the quality of September rather than the quality of 6 PM. Their paintings are the visual record of sustained attention to light as subject. This is the September show — for collectors who have been waiting for the year's best light.
Register for Golden Hour — September 4. Lolly Shera and Lisa McShane. The Pacific Northwest in its best light, painted by two artists who have spent careers learning to see it.
