Proudly announcing that we now represent:
BRADLEY HENDERSHOT
Trapper's Moon, 16 x 29" Watercolor
BRAD LETHABY
December Willow, 20 x 24" Oil
We are pleased to welcome these two new artists to the gallery. Both are award winning professionals who have exhibited widely and do extraordinary work. Look for examples of their work and bios on the Artists' Pages of our website.
Congratulations to Steve Zazenski whose watercolor North Jersey Nocturne has been accepted by the American Watercolor Society into their 147th Annual International Exhibition happening at the Salmagundi Club in New York City. The show runs from April 1 - 20.
This is Steve's second acceptance into the annual exhibition. This second acceptance makes him eligible to become a member of the prestigious Salmagundi Club. Founded in 1871, the Salmagundi Club is one of the oldest art organizations in the US. Its membership has included some of the most important names in American art. Today the club builds on this legacy by providing a center for the resurgence of representational art in America.
Our gallery always has a good selection of Steve's work. He will also be a featured artist during Doylestown Art Days happening early this June.
I visited Steve at the Salmagundi Club on April 1 for the Opening of The Exhibition - pictures below
Congratulations to Brad Lethaby who has been selected as a finalist in
The Artist's Magazine's 2013 Annual Art Competition. See Brad's painting entitled Bentley, Profile of a Pig in the Jan/Feb issue on the Competition Spotlight page. An interesting and entertaining article about Brad and his work is included. Brad, who has also been a finalist in the magazine's Figurative category and who won an award for figurative at the Art Renewal Center, will be a featured artist in our upcoming Exhibition: Painting People - A Face & Figure Exhibition slated for October.
