7th Annual Studio Sweep Sale
Each December Bishop’s Stock’s artists clean out their studios to offer art lovers a chance to add to their collections or find the perfect gift at great savings. For the artists this gives a chance to sell older work, the last of a series or paintings that just need to go! For those who appreciate local talent this means a great selection of oils, acrylics, watercolors and pastels – large and small. Most work is unframed but there is a small selection of paintings ready to hang plus a few frames to purchase. The sale continues through December and January so there is plenty of time to leisurely search for that perfect find. During this time newer work by gallery artists is also displayed but not at reduced prices.

New Work by Gallery Artists
March is a great time to show new work by our artists. Some of the paintings are fresh off the easel while others were done in recent months. It is always interesting to see what imagery and subjects come off their canvases and paper. Some of our artists stay with the same medium and representational subjects while others explore different techniques and vary what they want to paint. It is always refreshing to see what direction they take. Included in the show are Leslie Belloso, Carole Boggemann Peirson, Scot Dolby, Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride, Jim Rehak, Fred Sprock, Roxanne Weidele and Nancy West.
Artist of the Month Leslie Belloso

Leslie Belloso
Leslie Belloso was born in the Philippines and moved to Crisfield on Maryland’s Eastern Shore during middle school. Her aptitude in art, particularly painting and drawing, was evident in high school. However she put art aside during college to pursue a career in medicine.
It was not until her second year of internal medicine residency in 2001 that she began to take art classes at the Maryland Institute and College of Art in Baltimore. The classes reawakened her passion for painting. Since then she has felt a persistent pull to create art. She has since taken workshops from top artists around the U.S.
However the turning point came in the summer of 2009 when the incredible opportunity arose for her to study with the master painter and brilliant colorist Louis Escobedo in Easton, Maryland. In the fall of 2009, she decided to take the leap into a career in art. She has taken time off from her medical career to concentrate on painting (and on her family.)
Currently she paints almost exclusively from life. She paints still lifes, portraits, figures, and landscapes. Striving to get the feeling and the gesture of a subject through her brushstrokes and color, she is an abstract artist at heart.
Leslie has made a commitment to art and is beginning to get recognition and awards for her paintings. Her most recent awards include Honorable Mentions in both “Paint Annapolis”, and “Dueling Brushes” in 2010, as well as “Best In Show” in Easton’s Local Color Competition in July 2011.
