Casa Ramos Art Gallery in Los Osos is the place to be on Saturday, Aug. 23 (4 to 7 p.m.), when it hosts a community end-of-summer party featuring “colorful, feel-good artwork created exclusively by artists from Los Osos,” the gallery announced.
“We’re representing an incredible emerging artist, Mike Golling,” gallery co-owner Elena Ramos Peffly said. “His paintings are unreal, … and some are gigantic!”
Peffly describes Golling’s work as impressionistic oil paintings, capturing scenes from the Central Coast, including Morro Bay, Los Osos, Cayucos, and Big Sur.
“His expressive brushwork and rich color palettes breathe new life into familiar landscapes,” the gallery announced. “Adding to the excitement, the reception will unveil a new painting by renowned local legend John Ramos: a tribute to the Western Flyer, the storied vessel made famous by John Steinbeck in The Log from the Sea of Cortez.
“Whether you’re an art lover, a local supporter, or simply looking for a meaningful way to spend a Saturday evening, this free event is open to all. Enjoy refreshments, community vibes, and a few surprise moments along the way.”
The gallery is located at 1034 Los Osos Valley Road. Learn more at losososart.com. Call the gallery at (805) 439-0306. Δ
