Bonita Paulis- amazing artist and our neighbor...
Again we found ourselves at Bona Fide Books for an evening of great company and phenomenal art. Bonita Paulis, a Pastel Artist and our neighbor, had an exhibit opening tonight showcasing her Wild Western Landscapes. Some scenes look familiar, others encouraged exploration and all were breathtakingly beautiful.
Bonita has a way with color and emotion, drawing one into the scene to the point where you could almost smell the intoxicating mountain aroma. Our evening was spent savoring her art, meeting even more interesting individuals and realizing, while Tahoe may be small town, its culture and inhabitants are larger than life.
"Project your mind into your subject till you actually live in it.
Throw your heart into the picture and jump in after it…
Art is not a transcript or a copy.
Art is the expression of those beauties and emotions
that stir the human soul."
-Howard Pyle
