SUMMARY:Expressive Color Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:EXPRESSIVE COLOR EXHIBITION\nJANUARY 7-31st 2026 \n Artists:  Viola Mosley              Ron Spagnola \nThe East County Art Association Gallery is proud to present a dynamic two artist showcase uniting the bold visions of Viola Mosley and Ron Spagnola. Though their styles diverge in form and technique\, both artists share a deep commitment to vibrant expression and immersive color. \nViola’s abstract acrylic paintings and expressive watercolor brush drawings capture the spirit of the desert in luminous\, energetic hues. Her fluid strokes and layered compositions invite viewers to wander through imagined landscapes shaped by emotion and movement. \nIn contrast\, Ron Spagnola’s intricate color pencil works offer a stunning level of detail\, portraying animals of land and sea with remarkable precision. His elaborate drawings celebrate the beauty of wildlife\, encouraging viewers to pause\, look closer\, and appreciate the artistry within every line. \nTogether\, their works create an extraordinary journey\, an interplay of detail\, gesture\, and color that captivates the eye and sparks discovery. \nThe ECAA Gallery invites you to join us for the reception on January 16th\, 5 to 7pm.The exhibition will be on view January 7 to 31.
