The Shapes of Water

Opens Friday, December 4 from 4-6 pm, exhibit up through January 3 Gualala Arts Burnett Gallery We humans are all over 90% water, as are our dogs, cats and other friends. Earth’s surface is over 50% water. Water is IMPORTANT! Water shows itself to us in many ways: ocean waves, vast expanses of ocean textures and colors, lakes and streams with their reflective nuances, ice and snow, rain, the different kinds of clouds, the many shapes of dew. You probably are now thinking of additional ways water shows itself to us, and that is just what we want for this show.
