The School of Light & Color

Love the technique that is taught at this place, which also doubles as a gallery. Think modern Impressionism with an emphasis on light. This former Crocker Bank (remember them?) is at one end of Old Fair Oaks. The School also participates in the Art Second Saturday walk and are very welcoming when you stroll in.
On another note, the Crocker used to be where my old bus stop was. One day it was burglarized when the bus dropped us off, the police told our driver Tom to have us duck down because the robbers were still inside (he was afraid we might get shot). I couldn’t resist having a peek and it was just as they cuffed two guys wearing black sweaters and dragged them outside. The image in my mind was the same as the photo on the front page of the Sacramento Bee the next day!
Getting back to the art, many of the paintings are of the local surrounds, mainly being Fair Oaks and the American River.
According to a friend of mine who takes classes here, the founder of the school, Susan Sarback, is a lively, creative and patient artist to take classes from. They even have kids classes! She uses palette as well as brush to paint.
