Ahoy Boy! Twirl girl! Swim on in, or fly on by and absorb some new art:

Salish Stories 
 art marinated and smoked by truth 

     On display June 5th through 30th at the Simon Mace Gallery 
236 Taylor Street in Port Townsend, WA

Join us this Saturday, June 7th for Gallery Walk from 5:30-8:00!

Paintings and sculptures by Richard Jesse Watson. 

Also joining me is Karen Hackenberg with her remarkable paintings and sculptures. 
This show swirls and surges with a terrific synergy from our different perspectives.

Joe is our local barista/juggler. At his coffee shop, "Velocity," the lattes go straight to the cerebral cortex.
Come meet the artists, clink wine glasses,(or Pellegrino), and hear the stories behind and inside the art. Stories inspired by the foam and spray of the Salish Sea and the true brine of some of the locals.


I painted this after reading eye-witness accounts of a sea serpent spotted near Port Townsend around 1906

I would seriously love to see you there.  If you can't make Gallery Walk this Saturday, let me know when you might be in town and I'll give you a personal tour.
