Jeffrey Moose Gallery, 1333 5th Ave, Seattle is pleased to announce the presentation of an exhibition of landscapes in pastel by Barbara Benedetti-Newton and Randena Walsh from August 9th through Spt 24th. A reception will be held for the artists on Thursday, Aug 11th from 5:30 to 8:00 PM. The public is invited to attend. Barbara Benedetti Newton, originally trained as a commercial artist at Burnley School of Professional Art (now the Art Institute of Seattle), is one of a handful of accomplished and all-to-rare realists in the local art scene. Her mastery of the colored pencil has won her a full page of awards and garnered the attention of collectors for over a decade. Her approach to pastels is looser and not quite as detailed but full of atmosphere so strong you can almost smell the forest. She is the author of a book on the subject of colored pencil and teaches classes at the Frye Art Museum, one of the West Coast's premier venues for representational art. A long time member of the Women Painters of Washington, Ms. Benedetti Newton has participated in numerous group shows, including a 1999 exhibit at the Frye Museum as well as scores of solo exhibitions. Randena Walsh, a Washington Native, like Ms. Benedetti Newton, grew up on a beach near Bremerton and concentrates her efforts on the woodlands and waterways of the state. She is a member of the Northwest Pastel Society and of the Women Painters of Washington. She is currently featured in the Whatcom County Museum exhibition, "An Enduring Legacy:Woman Painters of Washington 1930-2005". Her pastels are refreshing and impressionistic, often rendered in broad rough strokes that dissolve into parts of gem-like naturalistic visions.  Barbara Benedetti Newton "Down to Grace" 2005.
