Spring 2010  Catchlight Art Gallery, in Alpine _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Newsletter from   Bonnie Wunderlich Terlingua Gallery FALL -September 2009 Volume 1,  # 3 New gallery affiliation CatchLight Art Gallery in Alpine I'm happy to announce a new exhibit space for my paintings,   THE CATCHLIGHT ART GALLERY  in Alpine, TX.   Located on Alpine's main street,   117 W. Holland Ave.  -  this gallery with great talent on their walls is located right across the street from the parking lot of the train station.  There are 14 active artists who are members of this co-op gallery.  More photos will follow,  but you can see my exhibit space below.   The website for Catchlight is http://www.catchlightartgallery.com/ above:  my paintings at the Catchlight Art Gallery,  in Sept. but will rotate as new paintings are completed Upcoming shows at the Catchlight Art Gallery Alpine - Catchlight Art Gallery will host 2 days and nights of open house during the street galas in Alpine:  Gallery Night, or Art Walk will be  November 20 & 21 (Fri & Sat),  and the Star Party will be  December 5. Exhibits in Terlingua Terlingua - Several of my paintings are  exhibited  at Big Bend Resorts (formerly Big Bend Motor Inn) at the "Y",  in the cafe and the Motel lobby;    Leapin' Lizard's Studio and Gallery in the Ghostown (through Nov 13 only); the el Dorado Hotel - High Sierra Bar and Grill, and  Many Stones on hwy 118.   A note on the first (2007) newsletter: A number of questions have been coming up in the last couple years about the wonderful and appreciated article by Lonn Taylor (in the first newsletter, 2007).   So I'll add a few notes here to clarify about some things he wrote in that article.   Keep in mind that he interviewed me in November but the article was written or published quite a number of months later,  so it is easy how Lonn forgot or mixed up a couple details.    First,  I've never had black hair which he describes,   rather it is a light/medium brown, with a little graying.      Secondly,   he did ask me about my theory on the Terlingua name,  which he read on another website.   But as the months passed from the time he read and wrote the article,  he mixed my  theory with one of the several existing ones.   The theory he mentions is one that I personally think does not make sense and likely was made up in the last 50 years.  You can see my theory which Lonn was referring to in his article.     http://www.terlinguacitylimits.com/terlinguatpostoff.html
