Jeffrey Janson Paintings in the Gallery

Jeffrey Janson just finished up a show at Images Gallery and was kind enough to bring five of his paintings by the gallery for a few weeks. We will have the paintings on the front walls of the gallery until early June. The work ranges from plein air paintings of the Lake Geneva area, to landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park, to interiors of friends homes. There is an awesome painting depicting an aerial view of Belmont Harbor. Visit Jeffs blog if you would like to see more of his work.

New Michelle Work

Michelle surprised me with a few new pieces in the gallery last week. From what I understand, she found a old silk screen she had made years ago and spent an afternoon 'reworking' a few old panels. The results hark back to her days as a painter, and there is a touch of the Warholian silk screen sensibility too.
