Salem’s Hallie Ford Museum of Art is showing Michael Dailey: Color, Light, Time, and Place, an exhibition of paintings and works on paper that span a 45-year period in the life of Michael Dailey, a highly regarded Seattle painter and University of Washington professor emeritus. Dailey’s canvases, which might be described as atmospheric interpretations of the artist’s landscape, are positively luminous. His deft use of color makes them appear to glow from within. Over his career, Dailey has influenced countless numbers of young artists. Come and see why. The exhibit is on view through August 31.
While you are there, check out another landscape enthusiast who takes an entirely different approach. Adam Adam Bacher: Earth, Water, and Sky is an exhibition of color photographs by Portland’s Adam Bacher, who captures the remote alpine regions and backcountry wilderness of the western U.S. His straightforward style captures the grandeur and powerful presence of the western landscape.
Admission to Hallie Ford Museum of Art is $3 for adults, $2 for seniors and students, free for children under 12. The museum is free for all on Tuesdays. Hours are Tuesday -Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday 1-5 p.m.
