It is a sure sign that spring is here when Bishop’s Stock features new work by Lynne Lockhart and Kirk McBride. Since 2007 our spring season has truly started with Lynne and Kirk’s show. It is really hard to express the gratitude we have for their commitment to the gallery. During the fall and winter they create new work in their studios and then let us offer our patrons a “first look” at their wonderful paintings. Check the albums on Bishop’s Stock’s Facebook page and you will understand why we love getting ready for this show. While they are drawn to different subjects and paint different sizes their technical skills with light, shadow and form never miss the mark.
Come visit with our March Artist-in-Residence Angela Herbert-Hodges. Angela is inspired by her life and family in Africa as well as her travels around the world. Get insight into her mixed media techniques.
