In the Gallery This Weekend

It is hot in Chicago this weekend, but I have the AC on in the gallery and that is making me happy. Many interesting things in the gallery this weekend including new Jeff Janson paintings from his recent trip out to the Rocky Mountains. There are nine small paintings by Jeff and about half of them have an accompanying photograph of the painting being created in place. Most of Jeff's painting are on linen that has not yet been stretched and they present the artist vision as if we are looking through a window.
