Jackson Hole’s Art Association presents new works by painter Susan Durfee Thulin, January 23-March 4 2009, in the Center for the Arts ARTSPACE Theater Gallery.  An opening reception for the show, “Circle of Shadow and Light,” takes place Friday, January 23, at 5:30 p.m.

I’m a huge fan of Susan’s early work.  I recall seeing my all time favorite Thulin painting hanging on Mary Grossman’s living room wall.  I haven’t seen this show yet, but I love what I can make out of “Moonlight Marsh,” an abstract landscape arranged in horizontal fields of color.  A moss green pond nourishes waving fronds and Matisse-like plants below its surface.  Above, Thulin’s charcoal verticals bisect arcing shades of blue, mingled with pink patches of sky.  A moon’s golden strip floats.

Looks like information can be found at www.lmcontemporary.com;  Thulin is represented by Lyndsay McCandless.
