ONN – The West in Watercolor Spotlight on Oakland – video by the YouTube channel in the video’s upper left hand corner.
In the 1920s the itinerant Swedish watercolorist Gunnar Widforss spent time in the National Parks, producing paintings that convey a light-filled intimacy, marking him as one of the most important watercolorists of the West.
On the California coast he painted the towering redwoods and sequoias, so unlike the trees of his native land. Widforss ended up in Oakland, drawn to an artist community living in rambling cottages known as “the Arks” clustered near the Fruitvale Bridge in the estuary. His paintings of the Arks captured their stark and stunning beauty and are among his most arresting works. While the Arks have disappeared along with the Cryer Boathouse, Widforss’ Arks paintings remain, calling us back to another time our city’s history.
Lecturer: Alan Petersen, Curator of Fine Arts at the Museum of Northern Arizona, has curated exhibitions of work by many notable artists, and also teaches art history and painting in Flagstaff, AZ. He recently published a catalogue raisonné of works by Gunnar Widforss and continues work on a monograph on Widforss’ life and art.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
