March means it is time to welcome spring with new work by gallery artists. This month we will introduce the work of several new artists – Greg Challenger and Carroll Klingelhofer. Also included in the show are Leslie Belloso, Ed Challenger, Helene English, Fred Sprock, Christie Taylor and Nancy Richards West. The diversity of their work shows a range of painting styles and formats. The opening reception is First Friday, March 4 from 5 until 8.
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. Most work is unframed but there is a small selection of paintings ready to hang plus frames to purchase. Some of the large paintings from our 1-Day Sale will still be available. 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.
Seldom do paintings 24×36 or larger go on sale. If you are looking for a large painting for your home or office come see selected work by Scot Dolby, Lois Engberg, Helene English, Sharon Himes, Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride, Deborah Rolig, Fred Sprock and Nancy West with the option to buy at a 20-25% discount. Come visit the gallery that day and get a chance to win Kirk McBride’s “Low Tide” with a purchase of $20 or more.
During March gallery artists will be showing some of their newest work. This allows us to see what they have been doing over the winter with the prospect of spring soon arriving. Work by Mary Pritchard, Jim Rehak, Roxanne Weidele, Lynne Lockhart, Kirk McBride, Nancy West and others will be shown.
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.
We are offering a 1 day sale on large paintings and the chance to win “Orange Dinghy” by Kirk McBride.
