The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting May 3 through June 24 Over the past several decades, Humboldt County has nutured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters. A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape, a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University, and the effects of a backs-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting. Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one another—and openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight. That is the human “aspect” of the school. The inspirational aspect is the place itself. All the artists involved share, in one way or another, the same goal- to express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home. These are artists who have been painting for years, or decades. The greater part of each individual’s work is the Humboldt County landscape, done in a representational manner. The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of nineteen artists: Julia Bednar, John Crater, Judy Evenson, Eric Fidjeland, Ralphie Hendrix, Ken Jarvela, Jim McVicker, Terry Oats, Kathy O’Leary, John Palmer, Steve Porter, Leslie Reid, Alan Sanborn, Stock Schlueter, Randy Spicer, Dolores Terry, Alicia Treadway, George Van Hook, and Lisa Marie Waters.
