"AutumnScapes" at Tahoma Center Gallery, September-October

The Tahoma Center Gallery has invited me back to present a show titled “AutumnScapes.”  I’ll show land- and waterscape paintings in acrylic and in oil, featuring scenes from the Northwest.  I revel in abstract painting, but it’s impossible to live in this wonderful region and fail to use the settings for naturalistic paintings.

The show will go up the week of 12 September, and will be up through October.  Another area of the gallery will feature some of my larger black-and-white abstractions, as well.  The gallery is on the second floor of the Catholic Community Services building – the grand old St. Leo School at 1323 S. Yakima Avenue in Tacoma.  We’ll have a reception during the Tacoma artwalk on Thursday 15 September, 4-7PM.  The space is open 8:30 – 5 on Mondays through Fridays – just come in the main entrance and ask the receptionist for the artwork upstairs.

Interview on Northwest Public Broadcasting

Reporter Lauren Gallop interviewed my Gallery 110 colleague (and fellow Tacoman) Dorothy Anderson Wasserman and me in the Tahoma Center Gallery last month.  The resulting 3-minute clip can be heard or read at https://www.nwpb.org/2022/08/24/in-conversation-with-artists-jw-harrington-and-dorothy-anderson-wasserman/ .  See some of the work, and learn a bit about our inspirations and goals for our work.

Black & White, abstracted

The Tahoma Center Gallery presents “Black & White, abstracted,” featuring 36”x 36” monochromatic paintings by JW Harrington.  The spacious gallery is on the second floor of the former St. Leo High School.  Come upstairs to be amazed by how much boldness can be rendered in black, white, and grays!

Confront "The Impossibility of Knowing"

Only two more weeks to see 15 of the paintings in the series “The Impossibility of Knowing” at Tacoma Community College’s Gig Harbor campus (3993 Hunt St. in Gig Harbor). 
 
Gig Harbor is immediately across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge from Tacoma (or down the road from Bremerton).  The space is light-filled with a high glass roof, fantastic for viewing art.  The paintings are hung there through 11 August (open Mondays-Thursdays 9AM – 6PM).
