Travel Tuesday: Arts in Montebello New and First Works

Spring Colors, in the Restaunt - my work

There are 55 works on this one long wall 

Lots of diverse talent 

Fluid and Abstract Works, we have a resident to who teaches fluid art.

I have two paintings and a photograph in the restaurant. 

Spectacular, colorful and large, yours for only $850 plus shipping.

The long wall from one end to the other

The last piece to be added. 

It takes a few minutes to see them all.

The Show Poster

A photo from 1976, shown for the first time in 1977 at the Titusville Art League in Florida. 
One of my all time favorite images. The night I printed this, everything just worked like magic. 

There are three portraits in the Restaurant taken in Belarus in the 1990s by a now retired state department official. 

The third of Dian's portraits

Water color, calligraphy, photographs, painting, collage. 

A cluster of black and white photos, all inkjet prints from scanned negatives.

  2. It's great that you have a facility for displaying your art. It must increase motivation. I rather like your painting David - its endearing naïveté - and it was so kind of you to bring that hobo in off the street. Looks like he was badly in need of some nourishment.

  4. Nice. Are those that appeal to you for sale? I suppose anything is for a price.

    2. Andrew, If the artist wishes to offer them for sale, we list a price, the sale is between the buyer and seller.

    1. I have another spring flowers still life that I think is even better. The theme for one of the shows later in the year is "Still Life and Real Life."

  6. What marvelous variety in styles, colours, media and subject matter! You and your crew did a great job of hanging them too. I'd love to view the exhibit in person and carefully look at each and every entry! I bet you'll receive great feedback from this show!

    1. Odds are that in the six weeks it will be up, about half of the people who live here will pass by for one reason or another.

    1. And you have to put up with me being out working on this, and running to my desk to deal with yet another email from a befuddled artist.
