Longtime Juneau artists plan retirement<\/a>]<\/ins><\/p>\nThe switch stuck and is reflected in Bonnet Hale’s compound last name.<\/p>\n
Some color and subject choices evident in the paintings that will be displayed throughout the month may also surprise attendees.<\/p>\n
“A lot of people who are very familiar with his work will observe that he liked blues a lot, and it’s always fun to run across a painting with more greens and yellows,” Bonnet Hale said. “Everybody is most familiar with his scenes of Southeast Alaska. He loved to experiment. He did a lot of space paintings. He did a lot of war paintings. He was fascinated by World War II planes and boats. There will be some of those as well.”<\/p>\n
Bonnet Hale said she plans to continue to collect her father’s artwork and would be interested in someday putting together an even more expansive showing.<\/p>\n
“I’m 57, and I anticipate it will be an endless exploration for me until the day I die,” she said. “He was so well-known and so well-loved. I just feel like I’m going to continue to discover things.”<\/p>\n
“My goal is to keep his legacy alive and make sure we don’t forget his work,” she added. “The only way to do that, I think, is to keep it out there.”<\/p>\n
