American Art Colllector December Issue 2011 previews Small Works Holiday Exhibition at Roby King Gallery, "Seasonal Treasures" .
Pg 163-164.
"Art is a gift. It is at once timeless and timely, individual and universal,classical and contemporary. Giving the gift of art means the recipients who live with the art are
open to its rewards everyday. …providing a continual sense of beauty, inspiration and a sense of peacefulness.
Small paintings are like gems. Some artists say that it is more difficult to create a smaller painting than a larger one… A small landscape still has to show depth,
a figurative piece needs to maintain all the intricacies of the human form, and a still life needs to give a sense of scale for all the objects in the composition.
Owning a piece of art means that we are merely caretakers for that work before it gets passed on to the next person, the next generation, to enjoy.
Joshua Rose, Editor, American Art Collector, December 2011

We congratulate them!
CHERI CHRISTENSEN

Straight Ahead: A Palette Knife Demonstration in Oil

"This is an excellent demonstration of not only interpreting the subject in an impressionistic style, but her skill in using a palette knife to do the majority of the painting.
If you’ve ever wanted to see someone skilled in the use of a palette knife, this video is for you." Ralph Liliedahl

For the Locals
We want to thank everyone for their support this year! We have all been annoyed, inconvenienced and at times ticked off because of the street deconstruction and reconstruction!
But we are moments (in geological terms) away from it being completed!! Holiday decorations are going up and tomorrow is Small Business Saturday! We hope you are not too tired from Black Friday and will turn out for some Cider and cookies tomorrow.
Not too late for your framing projects!
Happy Holidays!!
Warmest regards,
Andrea & Wes
