Show at my New Gallery


I didn't think I'd be in another bigger show this year, but I didn't know I'd be picked up by a new gallery. They have about 15 paintings, several have sold already before the show has even opened so that's a good sign. This is a dummy for an ad that will be in South West Art soon. The show is December 9th in SLO. Hope you can make it. There will also be a small paintings Christmas show at Segil fine art on December 2nd.

There is something really warm and inviting about this piece. The way that you capture the reality yet give the train a mysterious quality is fascinating. It's no wonder that a new gallery has scooped you up! Congratulations!

Been hiding this one, eh? Something about the actual numbers on the train, the little details, really takes it up a notch.

If you're ever in North Dakota, Minnesota, or something within a day's reasonable driving, I would definitely make the trip.

Hey BG,

What's great about America is any young intrepid can organize a workshop with an out of state artist by getting a half a dozen artists to commit. Said artist can then bring a brace of originals discounted for students to be put on display for educational and financial gain. Sometimes this can be done in collaboration with an art store or art gallery/ framer or even a bed and breakfast that might see the bodies it attracts as a benefit.
