Arena 1 Gallery is a large hanger area near the Santa Monica Airport in Santa Monica, CA.  It is used now as artists' studios and a gallery.  It is a large space and quite nice for exhibits of large work.  One of my art groups, Women Painters West, has had a few exhibitions there and will again in the new year.   This is a diverse group of talented women artists the majority of whom are abstract artists.  I often feel like the odd-man out because my work is very realist based. 

One of my paintings titled, "Colorful China Cove", was juried in to this show by artist-juror, Jim Morphesis.   I love this painting.  I've been enjoying it on my stairway wall for a while now.   It's 30" x 24" so it won't be dwarfed too much by the large abstracts in the show.

If you get the chance, please try to get by the Arena 1 gallery to see the show which will run from January 10 through January 25th.   The reception will be January 10th from 5-7 and there will be MUSIC!   Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, noon to 6 pm.
