Atelier One's building as it looked back in its apple warehouse days. |
|
Atelier One is a brick-tile building in Graton and is an old apple warehouse which has been seismically retrofitted and divided principally into individual artist studios. Originally, Atelier One's building was home to O.A. Hallberg & Sons Apple Products in Graton. The Hallberg facilities were the core, if you will, of the Sonoma County Apple industry. Today, it is wonderful to have this historic building retrofitted and repurposed as a home to Sonoma County artists. |

Jon Blanchette, Mendocino Church, c 1965-75 oil on canvas laid down on board, 20 x 24, available for sale, Bodega Bay Heritage Gallery |
Photo of Mendocino Presbyterian Church today approximately 70 years after Jon Blanchette painted it. |
Our gallery also has another Jon Blanchette painting done in Mendocino, this one showing in the distance Mendocino Presbyterian Church atop the bluffs above the Pacific. The church would have been about 100 years old when Blanchette painted it. Today, the Church is a California Historical Landmark, #714, and even has its own Wikipedia page. The church was built in 1867-68. Its construction with old growth redwood was shepherded in part by William Kelley. Daisy Kelley would have witnessed the construction as an 8-9 year old and would have been one of its earliest parishioners. |

These two Jon Blanchette paintings are also available from Bodega Bay Heritage Gallery | |

Next Month in our December issue Maury Lapp grabbed the Lion's tail at the Art Institute of Chicago and never let go |
Keven Brown announces "Friends in Art" at Corrick's Stationery, Gallery and Gifts 637 Fourth Street in downtown Santa Rosa |
Maurice Lapp 1925-2014 grew up in Chicago and attended the Art Institute of Chicago. After teaching for a few years in Oakland, he settled in Santa Rosa where he continued his painting and taught at Santa Rosa Junior College. Maury was interested in urban architecture and cityscapes. For Maury, tall rectangular buildings became abstract forms which conveyed an array of moods. His palette and non-objective style helped spur the West Coast's Abstract Expressionist movement. |
