A memorial to honor all Iowa victims of COVID-19 will be installed at Reiman Gardens, Ames IA, on September 22, 2021.  The exhibit is made up of over 6000 origami cranes made one-by-one by artist Pamela S. Douglas.  This pandemic experience is an historic phenomenon and communal experience.  The intent of the exhibit is to offer an opportunity to honor and reflect upon those who have been lost to COVID-19 within our families and communities.  

Remain Gardens brings this community event to Ames and its surrounding communities in the "Garden Room."  It will be available to the public at this beautiful venue until December 9, 2021.

Best in Show!

11/26/2014

0 Comments

 
On November 9, I received the "Best in Show" award at the Greater Des Moines Exhibited 21 at the Heritage Gallery.  Mark Marturelo, an illustrator for the Des Moines Register and juror for this show, commented:  "Pamela has some exceptional pastel works on display.  The "gift boxes" was a piece that I had to go back to over and over again.  A great command of the medium and this particular piece had a very simple yet sophisticated design.  The colors chosen worked well off of one another.  This is just a great overall piece--it must be because I'm not a big fan of pastel.  She has made me a believer."

This show represents many talented artists from the greater Des Moines area.  It is worth a trip downtown to check it out.  The Heritage Gallery is located at 111 Court Ave, Des Moines.  Hours:  11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday.  Admission-FREE.

 Two of my pastel pieces were juried into the Iowa State Fair this year (August 7-17).  Be sure to visit the Cultural Building while you are at he Fair.  The fine arts exhibit has been moved to the 3rd floor of the Cultural Building.  If you are trying to find a cool place to hang out at the fair, this building is now air conditioned.  There is also an elevator if you don't want to climb the stairs to see the show.  Enjoy!

"En plein air" painting with New York Students League in France

I spent a little over a week in the Burgundy region in late June doing "en plein air" painting with 21 other artists from all over the world.  Our instructor for the trip was Costa Vavagiakis from the New York Students' League.

Its always great to make new friends, eat wonderful food, drink excellent wine, learn new things, and paint outside everyday, all day long.  I highly recommend it!!!

I also visited a lot of museums while on this trip.  The Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam was the highlight of the museum tours.  I felt this was the most engaging museum I've been in in a long time.  The museum is set up to lead you through Van Gogh's art experiences over the ten years that he painted.  There are a lot of examples of paintings by the artists that influenced him and scientific studies about his work.  The audio tour, which is included in the ticket price,  adds important bits and pieces that make the tour extraordinary.
