Sneak Peek: Light on the Land

Hello again!

We just wanted to give y'all a sneak peek at our latest show, Light on the Land. Below are a couple of the paintings that are currently on display in the Davis & Blevins Gallery during our opening receptions THIS WEEKEND.

Join us this weekend for the opening reception of “Light on the Land” an exhibit of landscapes by our gallery artists. You will enjoy an array of work from images of rolling Montana hills to the cool waters of Colorado rivers and East Texas dusky skies.

 



Ted Waddell's artwork is at once traditional and contemporary. Ennis Horses is a western scene of horses scattered in the Montana landscape, yet the his drawing and color washes are fluid expressions of the artist and his tools.

 

 

 

Plein-air painter Gay Faulkenberry transports the viewer to a cool Colorado river scene. The sounds of rushing water and smell of evergreens is palpable in her oil Taylor River Spillover.

 

 

 

Deborah Paris paints in the tradition of 19th Century artists with oil glazes that add a haunting depth unattainable by any other method. Spring's Promise exemplifies this time honored technique.

Join us won't you at our reception this weekend October 13th & 14th as we celebrate these and our other gallery artist as they show us the landscape through an artist's eye.
