County Bank Chooses 12 Larry Darnell Tree Images For Show

October 11th, 2011

County Bank Chooses 12 Larry Darnell Tree Images For Show

Santa Cruz County Bank for its "Into the Woods" show has chosen 12 of Larry Darnell's tree images for this 9 artist joint show. The show runs October 18 - January 18, 2012 at 5 bank locations.

In witness to the natural beauty, strength and mythical character of trees, nine artists share their personal and universal perspectives on the earth's most cherished living resource. Spanning from below the earth up to the sky, trees provide sustenance, shelter and bounty for our planet. On a local note, trees hold significant value in Santa Cruz County's history through logging and tourism.

"Trees are one of the living subjects I find most appealing. While they are rooted they are still very dynamic, and their sense of time is very much not in sync with our own," Darnell said. "They make choices over very long periods of time, and, of course, are largely responsible for us having the privilege of being here."

Early Spring Whitney Chosen For Yosemite Show

Early Spring Whitney was chosen for the Annual Juried Exhibit Yosemite Renaissance XXVI to be part of the exhibition at the Ansel Adams/Yosemite Museum Gallery opening February 25, 2011 through May 2, 2011. The show will then travel around the US for the balance of the year.

Yosemite Renaissance is an annual competition/exhibition which is intended to encourage diverse artistic interpretations of Yosemite. Its goals are to bring together the works of serious contemporary artists that do not simply duplicate traditional representations; to establish a continuum with past generations of Yosemite artists; and to help re-establish visual art as a major interpretive medium of the landscape and a stimulus to the protection of the environment.

Early Spring Whitney is a combination of multiple digital images taken from Lone Pine, CA looking west toward the Mt. Whitney range, with the Alabama Hills in the middle ground in shadow. The combination was performed in Photoshop,...

Snowy NIght Chosen For NIght Show

Snowy NIght Chosen For NIght Show

"Snowy Night" a 30 aecond exposure taken during a Sierra snow storm was chosen by juror and photographer Tom Paiva for the national juried show After Dark at the Vermont Photospace Gallery Essex Junction, Vermont.

Tom has been a commercial photographer for over 20 years, specializing in industrial and architectural subjects. Night photography has been a passion for him for over 25 years and always tries to incorporate it in his commercial work. His statement for this show: When I review a night photograph, one of the most important criteria is the balance of light from the extreme highlights to the deepest shadows, regardless of whether it is b+w or color. This tonality is important to keep the viewers interest. A night shot should have a sense of mystery and the composition should make your eye move around the image. Of course, it must be technically perfect to make the grade.

I was a little surprised this image made the cut, not have a bowlful of experience with...

2 Works Chosen For LH Horton Gallery Show

2 Works Chosen For LH Horton Gallery Show

2 photographs, ALEXANDRIA RHYTHMS AFTER DEMUTH and ATGET IN THE GOLD COUNTRY, were chosen by Carol McCusker, an independent curator, writer and educator, for the show ALTERED LANDSCAPES at the LH Horton Gallery in Stockton, CA 11/18 - 12/16/2010. Both photographs are homage, one to Charles Demuth, painter and Eugene Atget, photographer.

Both photographs are unusual in that photography is the underlying foundation of my work the majority of which consists of paintings and prints digitally processed from photographs. I seldom present photographs as a final product.

Both of these photographs also are of historical architectural subjects, which is kind of a sub-genre for me, my most predominant work being landscapes.

I have created detailed presentations on both of these works, with associated Demuth and Atget images for reference at my blog, and as pdf's to view as a layout at my website http://www.ldarnell.com.

Larry Darnell Accepted To Marin Museum Show

The Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, Novato, CA. recently chose Larry Darnell's image "Columbia Rhythm" for the Fifth Summer National Juried Exhibition "Private Eyes: Artist Visions". The show dates are June 19 - July 18, 2010.

"Columbia Rhythm" was taken on an early fall morning at the Columbia Historic State Park, Columbia, California, a preserved gold mining town in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The shot is of the entrance of a small cabin, its doors and walls of unpainted raw weathered wood; the uneven and time-worn sagging counterpoint to the subdued elegance and Eastern style transplanted to the raw wild gold settlement.

Larry Darnell's work brings remote natural locations to viewers who wish to share quietude, serenity and the beauty of these places. For over a decade he has been combining photography and digital tools to create images that have the feel and quality of traditional paintings and prints. "Columbia Rhythm" is part of a series of photographs of...

Image Chosen For County Archive

The image Las Animas Concrete was chosen today by Santa Cruz County to be a part of their ongoing photo collection titled The Visual Chronicle of Santa Cruz County. The collection is publicly displayed in county facilities.

This image was made from a photograph taken by Larry Darnell in the winter of 2009 on Encinal Street in Santa Cruz. "Most of my works are landscape photographs," says Darnell, "very few, however, remain as traditional photographs. With the computer, I've developed a number of styles which have the feel of paintings or prints. This one is part of a series inspired by Japanese-style wood block prints."

From the Santa Cruz County website:

The Visual Chronicle of Santa Cruz County
The Visual Chronicle of Santa Cruz County is an archival collection of works on paper owned by the County of Santa Cruz that portrays artists' ideas, visions and perceptions of what makes this County unique. The intent of the collection is to document...
