Landscape Painter Shows 'Inside Passage' at Lemon Grove Library

Renown landscape artist Ellen Glasgow will exhibit her latest show next month at the Lemon Grove Library.

Drawing on inspiration gathered during leisure time time spent on a cruise through the Inside Passage of Alaska, Glasgow presents pristine forests, mountains and glaciers that evoke mist and soft rain to lend a "special delicate quality and color to every part of the day and night." 

Glasgow's exhibit, Inside Passage, is a series of monotypes, or one-of-a-kind print, and oil paintings. And though she usually works in oil, gouache, pastel, and the monotype, for this exhibit she included prints on Japanese rice and mulberry papers

"The Inside Passage has always held a dream-like fascination for me and a desire to return to this beautiful and isolated area," said Glasgow.

The exhibit will be on display Aug. 1-31 at the library, 3001 School Lane. The branch is open from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday and Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.

The library will also host an artist's reception on Thursday, Aug. 8, at 2:30 p.m., which will include a meet and greet with Glasgow, refreshments, and music by a local harpist.

The exhibit is part of Art Talks @ San Diego County Library series, which will continue throughout the year and feature different artists and styles.
