Studio Sweep Sale Continues

7th Annual Studio Sweep Sale Continues
During January our customers can still find great artwork at wonderful prices. Bishop’s Stock’s artists have cleaned out their studios to offer art lovers a chance to add to their collections 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 the month 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.

Featured Artist in November – Scot Dolby
November 1, 2016 · by ·
November is the month Bishop’s Stock celebrates the beginning of a new year on Green Street. It is hard to believe we have been open 13 years and have staged 140 shows and 13 Paint Snow Hill events. Some things have changed. Doug Fisher is our resident artist two days a week and our shelves now stock wine instead of fine craft. What hasn’t changed is the amazing talent we represent. Our November featured artist has been showing with us from Day 1. Scot Dolby was at that time a favorite teacher for Snow Hill students with many coming to see his work. Fast forward and Scot (and his wife Jean) are retired, enjoying being near their daughters and not being “retiring” at all. Scot’s work is known to fall into two categories – vast landscapes (local and some far away) and fish (a fly fisherman’s dream.) Scot also has a number of collectors of his mixed media paintings on cigar box tops.
Featured Artists in October – Martha Graham & Louise Dusinberre
October 1, 2016 · by ·
It is always a pleasure to show how creative talent runs in families. In October the work of Martha Graham and Louise Dusinberre provides the opportunity to see creative connections in one household. The mother (Martha) was in high school when she knew she would be an artist. Louise (the daughter) also forged her way into the world of art by selecting the Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia for her college training.
Since those defining days Martha and Louise have achieved success in their professional fields (interior design for Martha and fashion design for Louise) while still using studio work as their creative outlets. Each artist works with different media, but it is easy to see a common thread in their compositions and artistic style.
Featured Artist in September -Jim Rehak
September 1, 2016 · by ·
Each year the gallery schedule includes featured shows of new work by artists who have been with us since we opened in 2003. In September we will have new work by Jim Rehak. He is one of our artists whose work is constantly improving because his enthusiasm for plein air painting has him finding interesting landscapes and seascapes as he travels around the area. Each new season and changing light are always his focus which he interprets with a bold, colorful palette.
