New Exhibition and Award
The Buffalo Fine Arts League is currently holding its Spring 2017 Open Exhibition at Pencil in the River Gallery, in North Tonawanda, NY. The BFAL is a juried society of realist artists, of which I’ve enjoyed being a member since last summer. The current exhibit at this beautiful gallery features works by members of the group, as well as having been open to others who wished to submit artwork (hence an “open” show).
This is a juried exhibition, so it’s a great chance to come out and see some really expertly created works of drawing, painting, and sculpture, all with a realist approach. I’m very honored that the judge awarded my sculpture Water Skimmers the Special Award in the competition. Last weekend marked the opening reception and awards ceremony, and the show remains on view until May 2, 2017.
In addition to Water Skimmers, my acrylic painting North Shore, depicting a pair of seagulls perched before a breaking wave, is also featured in the show. All are invited to visit this beautifully curated show and admire the virtuosic handling of oil paint, charcoal, pastels, and many other types of media on view. Please come enjoy, and I’d be happy to hear your comments. The gallery address is 82 Main St., North Tonawanda, NY 14120.
