Exhibit
Nature’s Variety in Oil and Acrylic
The Art Committee is pleased to present Marjorie Turberville’s “Nature’s Variations in Oil and Acrylic” collection of oil and acrylic paintings for its November December exhibit includes earlier. Marge was born in Mobile, Alabama. When she graduated from high school, she enrolled in Mont de Valla Women’s College. After that she spent most of the rest of her life traveling around the United States with her husband John, who was in the US Navy. When John finally retired, they returned to Sacramento.
When they settled permanently in Carmichael, she signed up to take art classes with Evelyn Rubin. Evelyn had a studio in Carmichael and several of the other ladies at Carmichael Church had recommended her. Marge said, “Painting was the most relaxing thing I ever did.” Below are examples of her painting.
Sept.-Oct. Exhibit
- Photographic Overview
of the Chihuly Sculptures in Glass
The Chihuly Sculptures in Glass, was recently on exhibit in the newly renovated De Young Museum. If you were unable to attend the event, you missed an unusual and extremely provocative experience. Clair Daugherty enjoys photographic art work and brings to us the “immensely colorful” and “exuberant sculptures" in glass in picture form. The unusualness of the glass pieces equally continues with the unusualness in the creation of each individual piece of glass. Below are examples of his pictures.
July-August Exhibit: Cross Roads
Sheila Jacobs is the artist for the Gathering Place for July and August. She is a very busy and productive painter whose exhibits we have enjoyed before, here and at many galleries, recently at Eskaton. For this show she has chosen the title “Cross Roads.” She says the: “Cross Roads title was fitting for her at this time in her life as changes are occurring.
Changes are inevitable in life, and someone told her if there are no changes, there is no life. So she accepts and embraces the changes and believes God is behind her with support. “I have quit one of my schools, as I was teaching at two schools for many years, I also have aging parents and I am needed there. I am moving forward with my art and it is requiring more time.”
June Exhibit: Liturgical Art
The Liturgical Art Committee is displaying in the Gathering Place the quilted banners made since 2004.
Take some time to admire them up close and notice the details! Also on display are the wedding banner, paraments, unity candle holder and candelabra. Below are examples of CPC's liturgical art.

May Exhibit: When Thoughts Become Things
This exhibit is a collection of oil and acrylic paintings by Dottie Bjur. Like many people who lead extremely busy, successful and commendable lives, Dottie did not become interested in art until after she retired and moved to Sacramento in 1992. The following year her sister came to visit and brought her watercolors. She insisted Dottie join her in painting. In a short time "I was hooked on painting. I was not fond of watercolors but soon learned to love both oil and acrylic," relates Dottie. Below are some examples of her work.
March-April Exhibit - My World in Black and White
This exhibit is from Wayne MacRostie's work from 1974 to 2004. Wayne has been a photographer for more than 60 years, but has concentrated on 35mm black and white photography for the last 30 years. He began using color slides while serving in WW II and continued afterwards, recording the growth of his family, activities at Carmichael Presbyterian Church and his family travels. Wayne was introduced to black and white photography by Gene Knapp who guided Wayne through the developing and printing B&W pictures in Gene's darkroom. Wayne used a variety of cameras and film formats in his B&W journey. Below are some examples of Wayne's work.
