“Foothill Artists” Lois Halley, Judith Brynda, Mary Morrison and Mona Johnson will exhibit their original artwork during the countywide Silicon Valley Open Studios event this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, May 5 and 6 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 6785 Bret Harte Drive.

California landscapes are a specialty of these artists and will be featured in the women’s paintings, photography and note cards.

“This is my first time to show in Almaden,” said Morrison. “Last year we were in Los Gatos and the year before we were on Foothill Drive, off Santa Teresa…hence our name; The Foothill Artists. It seems that fewer artists are participating in this event now which is a shame.”

Morrison is right; the group represents the only Almaden listing in Silicon Valley Open Studios for the annual event.
