Silicon Valley Open Studios May 2-3, 2015

For months I’ve been quietly preparing for Silicon Valley Open Studios that takes place in just ten days. I would love to see you on Saturday or Sunday, May 2nd and 3rd between 11am – 5pm. Click on this link for more information and a map to Rebecca Lambing Art Studio. Feel welcome to have a drink, relax and enjoy the time to appreciate my creative space, ask questions and view my latest works. I’ll be showing everything from lemons (galore!) to other fruits, figurative and abstracts, small (5" x 5") to really large (44" x 66").

X2 Art Opening this Sunday from 1–4pm in Belmont

The X2 (Times Two) show has been hung at the Twin Pines Gallery in Belmont, California. Thirty six pieces of art by eighteen members of the Peninsula Chapter of the Women’s Caucus for Art are on view. Each member had the opportunity to create two works that complement each other when hung together.

I’ve been going a bit lemon-crazy lately, so that’s what I submitted. They won’t come down in time to be present for my open studio May 2–3, so this is your chance to see them in person.

I hope you can join us for the opening on Sunday, April 11th from 1:00 to 4:00 pm! It’s a chance to view the art, meet the artists, and nosh to your heart’s content.

Twin Pines Art Center
10 Twin Pines Lane
Belmont, CA

Opening: Sunday, April 11, 1–4pm

The gallery is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 12–4pm. The exhibit will be up through May 6, 2015.

Color Blooms at “Breaking Ground” Exhibit

“Breaking Ground” is on view through May 4th at San Mateo City Hall’s art gallery. Featured are nearly 30 works created by 19 members of the Peninsula Women’s Caucus for Art. I was privileged to help curate the hanging of this show and think it all came together beautifully! My piece, “Color Blooms” is a bit of a departure from my normal subject matter as I attempted to capture the feeling of lushness, vivid color and excitement as spring emerges after a long winter. There was a wide interpretation of this theme and all make it worth a side-trip to stop in and see the creativity. Look for the poster (shown below) as you enter the building to direct you to the gallery.

Artists showing are:
Beate Amler, Lorraine Capparell, Grace Cohen, Kris Idarius, Patricia Keefe, Annamaria Kusber, Rebecca Lambing, Ellen Lee, Tanya Lin, Marie LaPrade, Nancee McDonnell, Alysanne McGaffey, Yvonne Newhouse, Irene Schlesinger, Bonnie J. Smith, Deanna Taubman, Leigh Toldi, Susan Varjavand and Marian Yap.

March 11 – May 4th, 2015

“Seasons of Life” Exhibit at the Peninsula Art Institute

“A Time for Herself”, 24"x24", © 2014 Rebecca Lambing

It’s been a great summer full of travel and good memories! We thoroughly enjoyed my daughter’s last months at home before leaving for her freshman year of college at UCLA. We know all too well how much will change after Hannah gains her independence in the next few months with so many new experiences and responsibilities. She’s settling in, doing well, and loving it. Isaac has also returned to school for his final year of studies. It sure is quiet around here.

So for me the “Seasons of Life” theme for the upcoming Peninsula WCAs group show at the Peninsula Art Institute’s gallery has hit home. As official “empty nesters” it’s the season of change at our house. This is our time to focus on building relationships at home while continuing to support our kids from a distance. It’s a time to go inward and learn more about ourselves, as well. “A Time for Herself” explores just that... things have slowed down and demands have lightened. There is now time to think about all the great things that this life is about and how to make the rest of it just get better and better. The quiet probably won’t last for long, but she’s going to enjoy it for now!

I hope you can make it to view the artwork that will be up from November 20th through January 4th at the PAI gallery in Burlingame, California. There will be 16 local peninsula artists displaying unique pieces that show what “Seasons of Life” means to them. Click on the “Current Shows” tab above to see more details of the exhibit.

“Our Natural World” Art Exhibit

I am participating in a group exhibition at the Twin Pines Art Center in Belmont, California that takes place February 5th thru February 27th. The petite painting shown above is hanging, as well as another coordinating painting of a single tree. The Art Center is in the historic Manor House and is a beautiful venue in which to hang out and take in the art. Besides the welcoming gallery, the trees and open space in Twin Pines Park help make it a place you will likely want to visit again once you have gone there.

You are invited to the opening reception on Sunday, February 9th from 2pm to 4pm. You can see more details by clicking HERE or on the “Current/Past Shows” tab above. I may miss the beginning of the reception so I can attend my daughter’s last performance in her school’s winter play but do plan to attend. Let me know if you’re counting on me being there so I’ll be sure to make it asap!

“New Beginnings” in Daly City

Detail: “Woman with White Coffee Cup”, 48"x36", © 2014 Rebecca Lambing

This large painting is currently being shown in the City Hall Atrium Gallery in Daly City, California. The opening was a wonderfully successful evening with hundreds of people in attendance. It coincided with a celebration of David Canepa’s inaugural term as mayor. He has been instrumental in bringing art back to City Hall and this show, which showcases 22 artists from the peninsula chapter of Women’s Caucus for Art, is the first display in many years at the gallery. The diverse pieces have been well received and add a welcome element of color and creativity to the space.

My work is steadily becoming more confident and I was told this piece spoke to a number of people at the opening. There was one woman in particular who many thought must have a special connection as she looked strikingly like the blonde in the painting. Many, seeing the resemblance, simply said “Wow! She should buy it.” :-)

To view when and where to visit the show click HERE or on the “Current/Past Shows” tab above. The exhibit runs through March. I hope you get a chance to see this show as it is a special one.
