We welcome the fall season with a show of new work by 6 gallery artists – Scot Dolby, Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride, Barbara Mowery, Jim Rehak and Nancy West. Each of these artists have been very active in their studios, painting plein air or enjoying the stimulation of artists’ residencies over the summer. Their recent work reflects what they discover as challenging images or subjects that require changes in palette or technique. The opening reception is Friday, October 4 from 5 until 8.
We great Spring with a wonderful show of new work by Lynne Lockhart and Kirk McBride.
In April Bishop’s Stock comes alive with shrimp boats, dinghies, sycamores, dogs, goats and lots of nostalgia. Many patrons know this means New Work by Lynne Lockhart and Kirk McBride. During the past year Lynne and Kirk have been using their creative energies to further explore subjects using different palettes, painting sizes and techniques. Lynne has gone through old photos to capture a feeling of simple family life. The workshops she has taught on animal studies have added to her small painting series. Kirk’s work reflects his love of old vehicles (desert bug to work trucks) and boats docked or sailing in the bay and small creeks. He has continued his series of New York City streetscapes and magnificent trees. Some of the work in the show is shown but you can see all of the paintings check their albums on our Facebook page.
On Small Business Saturday, November 24, we will have a 1-day large painting sale. Although the annual Studio Sweep Sale does not start until December 7, we like to offer a preview with larger paintings. So far work included in this sale will be by Scot Dolby, Martha Graham, Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride and Nancy West. Paintings are reduced 20% or more.
We are adding to Operation Fundstorm’s effort to help over 200 artists raise funds for Hurricane Michael relief. This effort was organized as an online auction called Operation Fundstorm and directed by a local Florida non-profit. The initial goal was to raise $20,000 but before check Operation Fundstorm’s auction closes on October 28 over $100,000 was raised! For the auction Kirk McBride, one of our artists, offered Shrimp Shack, a 12×16 he showed with us. We bought the painting for $600, the price he set. In return we want to pay this forward by maximizing Kirk’s donation. From now until November 24 we are taking bids for Shrimp Shack starting at $600. Our hope is to have a successful bidder take Shrimp Shack home with Bishop’s Stock sending another donation to Operation Fundstorm. Stop by to see the painting and place a bid or call or email the gallery.
This month Bishop’s Stock is featuring the work by artists who consistently offered new work to the gallery. It is a pleasure to group them together to show the diversity of their work in oil and watercolor. All live within 30 miles of each other but the imagery and subjects they paint are diverse but all with Eastern Shore feeling.
Our feature in October shows recent work by 6 gallery artists – Lois Engberg, Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride, Nancy Mysak, Nancy West, Keith Whitelock. Bishop’s Stock is pleased to have these artists show with us throughout the year but their work deserves to appear more often. We have found a group show gives a wonderful appreciation for the great talent we show. Each artist will have a selection of new work. Included will be a number of small studies by Lynne Lockhart.
