Small works by the Palette Pals

Posted

Five local artists who call themselves the Palette Pals are into their sixth year of painting together on a regular basis: critiquing each other’s work, exchanging ideas about technique, media and what they’ve learned through assorted workshops, critiques, artists organizations and community involvement.

Char Davis, Parker; Rosemary Laughlin, Littleton; Darlene Maestas, Arvada; Beth Narva, Littleton and Merrie Wicks, Ken Caryl Ranch, work in watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastels, collage and mixed media. They have produced small works for their show in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center from Nov. 2 through Jan. 4.

Included will be framed 8-inch by 10-inch pieces, unframed canvases and smaller miniature art pieces. All works are for sale.

Each artist is a signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and, through the years, they have contributed to charitable causes such as Channel 6 Auction and Soup for the Soul plus other silent auctions.

The group’s main purpose is to “paint on a regular basis and display our individual art works in galleries and local art shows.”

Davis, trained in architectural drawing, tries for a feeling of Impressionism— capturing a moment in time. Narva, a Colorado native, loves the scenery that surrounds her. On occasion she paints “en plein air,” but she also carries a camera to capture a scene for future reference in the studio. Wicks sometimes combines media and works with collage.

Laughlin, also a Colorado native, has a pet portrait business, paints portraits of people and portrays the world around her. She and Wicks founded Palette Pals. Versatile Maestas of Arvada not only paints, but creates sculpture, glass works and jewelry.

The gallery at Town Hall, 2450 W. Main St., Downtown Littleton, is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and during performances. (“White Christmas” runs Nov. 12 through Dec. 26). 303-794-2787.
