Cold Water Surf and Skate hosts lo-
cal artist Todd O’Malley during art walk.
Original artwork will be on display along
with examples of O’Malley’s graphic
designs. O’Malley’s work remains loyal
to the three general painting subjects:
portrait, landscape and still life. “I work
to fuse together, not just ancient tech-
niques and cultural art styles, but new-
er, more contemporary ideas to create a
painting or sculpture,“ O’Malley says. He
chooses the theme or story of a painting
from a traditional pool of themes (good
vs. evil, love, motherhood, violence, sex,
work, religion, etc.). “I paint the emo-
tional side of the subject, stripping away
the detail to its basic nature, simplifying
it, so we can feel its naked and vulnera-
ble pain or happiness.”
Also find original pieces on display
from area artists Randy McClelland,
Chris Lee, J. Arthur Kurtti, Keifer Gray
and Greg Neitzel. Light refreshments
will be served.
