Uniquely Sea Ranch

DUANE GORDON CELEBRATES RETIREMENT WITH SALEDuane Gordon, art director and lay-out person for the Soundings since it began, is making a transition in his career as a fine artist.

After thirty years painting scenes of the North Coast he loves, Duane is laying aside his pen and brush. His eyes and hand are no longer able to produce his finely detailed paintings to his satisfaction. There will be a celebration of Duane’s retirement and a sale of his remaining works on June 27, from 5 to 7 p m at the Gualala Art Center.

Duane moved to Sea Ranch in 1982 and, after a career in advertising art, reveled in the freedom to paint and in the abundance of beauty that existed here on the coast. His favorite sub-jects were a combination of the natural and the built environment. Examples

are the painting of a view of the town of Gualala from across the river that hangs in the Gualala Arts Center and the painting of the Kidd House he gave to the Gualala Community Center. Sometimes the paintings out-lasted the structures. He painted the Gualala Hotel and the Knipp-Stengel barn many times, taking advantage of changes of light and season. Duane’s paintings have been consistent winners in Art in the Redwoods and other competi-tions.

Duane says, “I’m not giving up art, I’m going to be exploring new media.” For information on the celebration and sale, contact Marion Gates of the Henley’s Gallery, 884-1531.
