The Greater Gift
February means something else, to me anyway. First, I have a deep affection
for those sugary pastel hearts set out in crystal bowls all around the city. I pinch
one at a time, of course, but in my mind’s eye I see a woman scooping the entire
medley up and filling her pockets.
Who knows why we connect with some candies and not with others. Love is
really something, isn’t it?
Write of Way
New Year’s. It’s always a Big Deal. For a few days, it’s all anyone can talk
about. Next, it will be all about little red hearts. It all comes around so quickly.
Secondly, it makes me step back and question a few real things about love
between people, like who is there for you no matter what, who isn’t any longer
and, for the love of Pete, why not?
And I thought my fingers would fly over the keyboard with some sweet little
story about romantic love, a.k.a. my Larry. But, no.
Instead, another man fills my thoughts…
I visit my father annually on Long Island Sound, but he hasn’t returned to Seattle
since Larry and I married, referring to Puget Sound as “God’s country,” and that
is just about the highest compliment my father can extend.
On the morning of our wedding, the clouds we’d hoped would burn off only
swelled, the day becoming more and more May-like, restless, sprinkly, spring.
The kind of weather that can make pulling off a wedding on a shoestring budget
feel even more overwhelming. I was fidgety, worried that the clouds would turn
into a downpour or, even worse, drizzle all day.
My father took one look at me staring up at the sky, and a longer look at who
Larry and I were together, both of us a little frayed and scruffy to someone
from the more formal East Coast school of wedding appropriateness. And when
his eyes spanned the little wood-floored room we’d rented for our reception, a
schoolhouse in the tiny town of Dungeness on the Olympic Peninsula, he spied
the keg of beer in the corner.
He looked at me as if he might want to say something, but he never did. He just
crossed the room, stepped outside, closed the door behind him, got into his rental
car, and disappeared.
If it hadn’t been my wedding day, I might have found it disconcerting, even scary.
Instead, I could feel the sides of my cheeks expand into an even wider smile.
An hour later he was back, his arms around a case of liquor, plenty more where
that came from, until vodka, gin, scotch, and brandy bottles, plus every mixer
imaginable, were perfectly aligned next to the cake. “You think an Italian can
have a wedding without the real stuff?,” he asked.
But it wasn’t a question. And he winked after he said it, and that was unquestionably
the greater gift. I will remember the satisfied look his face until the day I die.
As a second present, bless him, he gave us enough money to, in his words, “get
started,” wisely neither too much as to make Larry uncomfortable, nor too little
to make me so, because an Italian father’s generosity is legendary and I’d grown
up with it, my legend, my superstar, my Valentine, my dad.
February. It’s all about love.

“Lyle Silver: 60 Years in Art” exhibit at Rovzar Gallery • Seattle, Washington
Lyle Silver • “Pergola, Seattle,” oil bar, 12 x 9 inches • Patricia Rovzar Gallery • Seattle, WA
Lyle Silver: A Life in Art
Patricia Rovzar Gallery • Seattle, Washington
Patricia Rovzar, whose gallery has been
representing Lyle Silver since 1997, recalls
meeting the artist: “When he first came
to me for representation he was skillfully
immersed in working as a courtroom artist.
He was getting out of that mode and wanted
to focus on his fine art. Since I have been
representing him he has gone from
making pretty straightforward
landscapes to those that are a lot
more gestural and less refined, less
confined by the landscape itself.”
Rovzar says, she is “not calling this exhibit
a retrospective because we are not going
all the way back sixty years. Instead I am
calling it ‘A Life in Art.’”
Lyle Silver does make the world
seem fresh.
For instance, in an oil bar on board
painting entitled “5th Street Alley
in Winter,” cobalt and turquoise
blues churn atop snow while
a structure beyond could be
mistaken for a quilt built of colors.
The painting has an intimacy-inpublic feel of a Charles Burchfield,
a sense that you are waking from
a deep sleep to find this scene
materialize before your eyes.
Using traditional subject matter
has allowed viewers to trust Silver
enough to fall completely into
his abstract visions. In his most
loose renderings of figures, land
and cityscapes marigold yellows,
persimmon reds, lavenders, bottle
greens, deep browns, and cold
blue pigments hover in streaks and
6
daubs like space aliens attempting to spell out
to their home planet what Earth has in store.
Lyle Silver • “At the Market,” oil bar, 40 x 32 inches
The title aptly describes what Silver’s life
has been.
The artist had a studio loft in downtown
Seattle for 25 years where he and his wife
Lois, also a painter, hosted weekly drawing
sessions for artists. They lived there and
were fully immersed in the art community.
When that building came down he and Lois
moved into a big house where they were
able to have both of their studios – yet, they
continued hosting life drawing sessions in
the basement of Art Not Terminal Gallery for
another thirteen years, a location just around
the corner from their former loft space.
Of all the married Seattle-artist couples, Lyle
and Lois Silver’s works appear the most
similar. Rovzar believes it is partly
because of having studios in the same
house. “His wife is an integral part
of his process,” says Rovzar, “and he
with her. They are each others’ critics.
They work separately but together
in their studio spaces and so are able
to draw on each other for artistic
nutrition. It’s kind of an interesting
balance – they both work with oil bar
and they both have developed different
techniques in terms of how they use
oil bar. And every once in awhile they
influence each other to the point that
you’re wondering, ‘is that Lois Silver
or Lyle Silver’?”
challenge such as Edgar Degas’ blindness
or Auguste Renoir’s paintbrush tied to his
arthritic hand. Yet, for some artists this
freedom is due to mental release, like in the
case of Lyle Silver.
Says Rovzar, “I think what happens [with
age] is that you care less about selling the
artwork as opposed to creating it. You come
full circle. I think that in Lyle’s heart of
hearts the looser was always the better. I
think he was always that way. But I think
he felt that in order to make a living at this
and become a commercial success he had to
paint what he thought people would embrace
and he didn’t think that people would
embrace the looseness of his larger pieces.
He found out that was untrue in the end.”
Silver got into using oil bars during his
courtroom drawing days – a profession
that his wife still partakes of. “We got
into oil bars because they are pretty
easy to pick up,” says the artist; “If
you had to go to the courtroom they
were pretty handy.”
The exhibit offers 25 or so sketches,
drawings and paintings that represent
a wide scope of the artist’s oeuvre,
including t h e l a rg e l a n d s c a p e s
depicting rural areas in Washington state.
When asked about the locations, Silver
said, “I’ve gone all over. Skagit Valley, Cle
Elum and the Willamette Valley. You know,
anywhere is okay.” On Gage Academy
of Fine Art’s website Silver is quoted as
saying, “Getting into the mountains from
the city is always awe inspiring; I never get
tired of it.”
These landscapes are often seen from the
point of view of the driver or passenger of
a car; the road is out ahead or a guard rail
peeks from a composition’s corner. They
also show visual echoes of one of Silver’s
influences, landscape painter Wolf Kahn.
It is fantastic when an artist lives long
enough to loosen all the way up. Sometimes
this looseness results from a physical
Lyle Silver • “8th Ave,” oil bar, 30 x 22 inches
When asked if he had any advice for young
artists, Silver replied, “Be focused. If you
want to be an artist you need to focus.
Keep working. Keep associating with other
artists. And keep looking, keep looking.”
Young artists, take heed.

collections of geographically themed images.
Pierr Morgan, longtime painter and

Images, objects, and video works reveal
a pivotal moment of insight in Stephen
Sewell’s art practice. Weaving personal
experience with public histories, the artist
exposes the failure to accurately convey
meaning through zealously collected
images and objects. There are contradictions
inherent in attempting to reconstruct history
from objects not originally intended to
serve as an accurate record of experience.
Through January.
Anthony Sonnenberg and Rodrigo
Valenzuela present a series of video
projections, photographs and sculptures
that try to shed light on the process of
discovering the truth about who we truly
are. Knowing oneself is elusive; ideas of
the self are multi-layered and contradictory.
There is a constant negotiation between past
and future; fantasy and reality; potential
and limitations. Through February.
Lost
This latest work in Mark Miller‘s
ongoing fifteen year project that uses
found film as the catalyst for his painting.
Appropriating imagery from a found

of passing landscape provide unpredictable,
but welcome challenges for this Seattlebased painter. Through March.

mind, body, and soul are central to artistic
practice. January-April.

Memories and Meditations
The first U.S. retrospective of Michael
Kenna’s photography in more than 20
years, the exhibition explores his ongoing
investigations of special locations around
the world. His signature style evokes a
sense of timelessness that underscores
the intimate connections of history and
geography. Organized by Tacoma Art
Museum. Through March 24.
Andy Warhol’s Flowers for Tacoma
Flowers for Tacoma exemplifies
the nature of pop art, where something
commonplace—like a flower—is transformed
into art. Exhibition highlights include Andy
Warhol’s audacious floral proposal for the
Tacoma Dome, as well as paintings, studio
photographs, and almost a dozen screen
prints from his vibrant “Flower” series.
Best of the Northwest:
Selected Paintings from the Collection
Ranging in date from the 1930s to
today, these selections from Tacoma Art
Museum’s collection reveal abiding interests
in the figure, the Northwest landscape,
the vocabularies of abstraction, and how
approaches to those themes have changed by
artist and time period. Through March.
