"Winter's Splendor"

Every season has a beauty that is a joy to behold.

Winter is no exception. A fresh blanket of snow, shimmering ice, brisk winds blowing snow into drifts of creative ever-changing shapes. Snow creates magical visual memories that last a lifetime.

Come enjoy these Winter works of art in the warmth of the gallery.

Painter's Paintings

June Show –“Painter’s Paintings”

Show Dates: June 9 – June 30, 3013

The expression, “a painter’s painting” can often be heard in artist’s conversations and at gallery exhibitions. What does it mean? What is it about a painting that elicits this expression? Does it mean that only artists can appreciate/understand this painting or that it was done ‘breaking the rules’ and is a successful painting never-the-less? We will present paintings that have received this ‘blessing’ and hope to hear the artists share the reasons ‘why’ a painting merits this praise.
