Iconic painter Kenton Nelson in front of his portrait by Ray Turner.



the PMCA has one of there strongest combinations or artists showing right now. A big Wayne Thiebaud show, an amazing group of surprisingly modern woodcuts from the thirties by Frances Gerahert and finally Ray Turner's insightful portraits of all his friends in the upstairs gallery. Ray's known for his haunting landscapes that have a lingering influence for his mentor Richard Bunkall, but these portraits are distinctly his own.He has the show featured in a new book published by the PMAC Beautifully capturing every brushstroke thanks to the great photo eye of Blue over at Artworks. They have the book for sale and mine to! to go there and get your work shot professionally.
