The Glenn Wolff Studio Summer Solstice Open HouseSunday, June 20 from 1 - 5 p.m230 East 14th Street, Traverse City, Mich.The unveiling of "Bella, The Peregrine Palimpsest", a mixed media painting on wood by Glenn Wolff and the Platte River Elementary sixth grade classes of Sarah Slade and Wendy Kalush. (The raptor "canvas" is a 36" x 72" redwood door donated by Bruce Odom/Odom Reuseable Building Supplies in Traverse City.AND from 3:30 - 5:00pm there will be a guest raptor or two in the studio accompanied by Wings of Wonder founder and director Rebecca Lessard.
As in past years Platte River students have spent part of their spring studying "Raptors in Our Watershed" in class, with visits from Rebecca and a host of raptors. Based on their research, journal notes, observations of artifacts, and sketches of live birds they have made brochures, and collaborated with Glenn on the artwork that they think is best described as a palimpsest. This year's subject was Bella the resident Peregrine Falcon at Wings of Wonder. The painting is being offered for sale in a silent auction that will benefit Wings of Wonder and next year's raptors project at Platte River Elementary. A print edition of the work will also be released at the open house.For a peek at the palimpsest process (and to find out what that word means) click here: http://web.mac.com/glennwolff/iWeb/Site-wow/
