Painter David Repyak says of his sunflower exhibit that “the subject matter was chosen for its frail fleeting burst of color which lasts only two weeks in early Spring. Much like life, if you blink, you can miss it all.”

His exhibit, “Thirst,” will be on display Dec. 6, through Jan. 17, 2009, at Pogacha of Issaquah, 120 NW Gilman Blvd. After Jan. 17, the show will move to Pogacha of Bellevue, 119 106th Ave. NE, where it will run through Feb. 28, 2009.
