The Exhibition

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.

The Artists
Lolly Shera · Lisa McShane
View All Artists →
Lolly Shera
Oil on Canvas · Light · Late Afternoon
Shera paints the particular quality of light in the Pacific Northwest in the hour before dusk — when the angle of the sun flattens and everything it touches turns the same warm frequency. Her work is not impressionism; it is the study of a specific optical phenomenon.
Lisa McShane
Oil on Canvas · Landscape · Atmosphere
McShane's paintings hold the transitional moments — light changing, season turning, the particular color of the Pacific Northwest sky in September when summer ends and the quality of the air shifts. Work that requires the viewer to have paid attention to weather.
