July 2024: "Impressions of Northern California" Robert Yelland
Featured Artist, Robert Yelland, is showing his landscape paintings during the month of July at the Artists’ Cooperative of Mendocino. Yelland says, “When I paint outdoors I ask myself ‘What is the ‘wow factor’ of this scene? Here we are on the edge of the continent, or in a river wilderness, a place of serenity, a place to feel relaxed, so what is it about this setting that excites me? When I feel I have successfully captured the scene, this is the ultimate, it nourishes my soul.” “It’s good to feel that I am getting better at painting, and I’m glad that I live in a place where I can practice my craft. Painting en plein air is a challenge, I love it. Composition, value, color and atmosphere are the ingredients that comprise my paintings,” says Yelland. Robert Yelland has been making art in Mendocino since 1968, when he was first met at the bus stop by Bill Zaccha. Yelland’s work includes a vast collection of weavings, a variety of gold, silver and copper earrings, and his current show of landscape paintings. Robert’s work will be on display at the Artists’ Coop of Mendocino, 10400 Kasten St, Mendocino from July 3rd through Aug 5. You are invited to meet the artist on Second Saturday July 13th during extended hours from 4 to 7pm. Robert will give a brief talk about his work at 5:30 PM. The Artists’ Co-op is open from 11-4 every day and is located at the corner of Kasten and Albion in Mendocino.
