Nine paintings by wesslers










There are nine paintings by Waters, who also make musical instruments and is a sculptor, graphic artist, musician and educator; and 11 by Wessler, plus his self-portrait, which hangs separately near the piano.
The paintings of the Wessler, a Coast urologist who died in January at age 92 and was widely recognized for his watercolor job, are on loan by his family for this exhibit.
Waters presents dramatic sun scenes and waterscapes that regularly portray atmospheric turbulence and are inspired by local and distant locations, including his travels in Hawaii and Roatan Island, Honduras.
Wessler’s paintings of figures and landscapes are in soft colors usually associated with the medium, and range from almost-photographically realistic to a blend of figurative and abstract. “Piano Player” is one such blend with sharp lines of the player’s face and hands that move into an increasingly abstract background.
