September at Gold Country

The picture above shows Gold Country Artists Gallery's location on Historic Main Street just two doors away from the Bell Tower in the middle of town (the Gallery is the building with the green awning).

It's September already at Gold Country Artists Gallery and we have a great start to the fall season with two great Featured Artists.

Sue Chapman

Sue is a talented and versatile painter of watercolors and acrylics depicting California landscapes in vivid color. She is delving into impressionistic styles with a surreal feeling to them. The Apple Hill Vineyard (at left) is appropriate for this time of year with Apple Hill season just beginning.

Her use of color is wonderful—come by and check out Sue's work! Also, you can see more of Sue's work on her web page at the Gold Country Artists Gallery website.


Bruce Gruenzel

Bruce is an outstanding oil painter whose realistic style is reminiscent of old Dutch and Russian masters. You can get an idea of the wonder of Bruce's work with his work at left, The Last Voyage.

Bruce is self-taught and his work has a liveliness and glow to it that is breathtaking to look at. He will have many of his works in the Gallery for your viewing pleasure and you can see more of Bruce's work on his web page at the Gold Country Artists Gallery website.

Fall in and Around Placerville

The leaves will begin turning this month, especially in the vineyards and apple orchards of the Apple Hill area. The colors and ambiance of the Apple Hill area is well known by many and it can be a great, fun day to drive to Apple Hill for lunch and a piece of pie and maybe a glass of wine. If you haven't tasted one of the delicious pies or other fresh apple products from Apple Hill or some of the wonderful wine from the local wineries, you in for a treat.

We recommend you come to Apple Hill, stay awhile and drop by Historic Main Street in downtown Placerville on your way home. Stop in to see the wonderful works of our Featured Artists and the many wonderful works of our other great artists.

Give your self and soul a treat by coming to Apple Hill and stopping by our wonderful Gallery. There are also many other fine shops on Historic Main Street in downtown Placerville. Come and spend the day!
