A new exhibit is now on display at ArtWorks @Salinas (262 Main St., Salinas). South Monterey County artist Javier Lopez Jr. is debuting with Home: From the Valley to the Peninsula, a collection of his oil and acrylic paintings, showing local landscapes and faces. “Using oil paint on canvas, I interpret my experience of living in Monterey County, from the Salinas Valley to the Monterey Peninsula,” Lopez wrote in an artist’s statement. “From hiking our parks to simply stepping outside to admire a sunset or sunrise, I work to capture those fleeting moments of the beauty that can be discovered in our area, an ode to home.” Born in Salinas, Lopez now lives in Greenfield. The exhibition is viewable until June 27. Gallery hours are 10am-4pm Friday to Sunday.
