Barbara Earl Thomas exhibit at Meadows Museum; Thomas to speak Sun, Sept 11, 2 pm

At Meadows Museum through Oct. 23 is an exhibit by Seattle painter Barbara Earl Thomas. Sunday afternoon at 2 pm she will give a lecture at the museum.

She was born in Seattle in 1948; she grew up in the city and attended the University of Washington where she studied with Jacob Lawrence. Her work has been included in area solo and group exhibitions for twenty-five years and has been collected by regional arts commissions, the Seattle Art Museum, and local corporations.

Thomas's paintings combine discipline with passion, says the Francine Seder Gallery of Seattle. They are carefully composed and painted egg temperas on paper. While small in scale and subdued in color, they are full of human drama with figures tossed in tumultuous seas or skies as Thomas reflects on the precarious state of a world approaching the millennium.
