In addition, there will be a “Classic Cars of Florence” Stand Around to go with the art show. For Grass, inspiration struck during a vacation stop in Havana in April 2019. The quick, one-day tour of Cuba provided by the cruise ship included a stop at a park- ing lot filled with Cuban tax- is. With a giant painting of Castro overlooking, the lot was filled with cacharros: 1950’s era Chevy’s, Dodges, Pontiacs and Fords. The legendary Cars of Cuba. However, it wasn’t the classic Bel Aires or makeshift engines under the hoods that piqued Grass’s interest. It was the chrome. Or, more specifically, the light hit- ting the chrome. “The light reflection drew my attention.

I was drawn to the way the light was catching the chrome,” he said. So he started snapping photos. While the other tourists were taking traditional shots, Jon was in tight, focusing on the chrome, the hood and the tail, with close-ups of the grill and the ornaments. Earlier in his life, Grass was a painter and later went into commercial photography. Upon selling his company in 2017, he was eager for the next chapter in his life and began doing experimental abstract paintings before his Caribbean cruise. After go- ing through his images of the Cuban cacharros, Grass had a new revelation. He called up his long-time friend, Joshua Greene, own- er of The Archives, a digital print and restoration studio located on the central Ore- gon coast, which printed ‘El Dodgé’ on rag media. Grass pulled out his water- colors and started painting. Not thinking about the car, just seeing it as a work of art. In the end, Grass created 31 paintings, all part of his show at The Studios. Grass and The Studios resident artists Jayne Smoley, Tamarah Phillips and Gigi Las- san will attend the 2nd Saturday reception at 1458 First St. There will be live music and a new seasonal Studio Box will be on display.
