If all the other artists in the co-op can reach Ms. Miller%u2019s artistic standards, then it should be a very enjoyable season for artviewers strolling along the Avenue.Pam Miller develops her ideas slowly: she did not have a oneperson show last year. There are 13 paintings on exhibit. Most are acrylics painted on paper. They are carefull abstracted, calm, colorful expressionist still-lifes. The mood is set by her choice of the background color.It may be easier for a viewer to understand Ms. Miller%u2019s color manipulations by comparing two paintings of the same subject: The Vineyard Stone Wall paintings. They were painted in the summer on Vinalhaven Island. The painting in the gallery window was completed in 1972; the painting on the wall in 1973. The earlier work is dominated by grey greens, as if the wall was shrouded in a heavy island fog. The later piece is more colorful, but the golden still conveys the heavy humidity one grows to expect on a New England island. The color rendering of the rock wall in the second painti g seems more relaxed. She has left much of the blue underpainting intact in the finished picture.This viewer%u2019s personal favorite is the Mirror & Windows with Lemon, Lime & Bottle. It is an accomplished piece and carries the promise of more and better work to come. There is a broad (light and shade) value range within the picture; and the renderings of the bottle and shell are particularly delightful.Pam Miller%u2019s exhibition will run through March 14th. Gallery 91 is open every day 12 to 5 p.m. The gallery is located at 91 Atlantic Ave.%u2014 ROGER ERICKSONR E A DTHE PHOENIXE V E R Y W E E K/n /-sDO YOU PAR T W ITH M O R E TH A N YO U N EED TO A T T A X T IM E ??C o m e in a n d le t p ro fe s s io n a ls s e rv e y o uin a w a r m a n d frie n d ly a ttm o s p h e r e a tTH E PARK SLOPE T A X C E N T E R194 seven th a v en u e 788-4845 or 788-67d>615% Dibcourvr wiin inis uu-until 1 1 -------- L. rvtur c-n- 1 r iLI J I I I
