Town Sentry (watercolor). Stormy, also known as Spirit Horse, makes the rounds to approve all people entering Point Reyes Station on the Petaluma–Point Reyes Road. The 16-year-old mare was a gift to Vicki Leeds, owner of Highway 1’s landmark shop, Cabaline Country Emporium & Saddlery. Moore noticed Stormy’s gentle, confident presence in the spotlight of afternoon sun coming over a fog bank hovering on Inverness Ridge. “When I paint, I establish a bond—‘become’ my subject—like an actor approaches character,” Moore says. “The sensual grace of a brush on canvas is a form of affection, a caress of another unique identity.” The winner of numerous awards, Moore has also participated in “Arts for the Parks,” the traveling exhibit and catalog devoted to National Park thematic art. She has also illustrated publications for children and young adults. For more information about her work, visit www.thunderarts.com. This month Emeryville’s Holton Studio Frame-Makers will host a show of Moore’s paintings with a reception Saturday, Nov. 1, 4-7 p.m. at 5510 Doyle St., Emeryville; www.holtonframes.com.
