Thanks to all our clients and friends who made the opening reception for Dinah Worman's new exhibition, "Drawing Me Back," such a success. For those of you who couldn't make it, the solo exhibition of new oil and pastel paintings is available at Dinah's online gallery. Click on the Artists link at left. Meanwhile, feast your eyes on her exquisite oil painting, above, called "Renewal." Does it evoke spring for you like it does for us? The moody and beautiful  "Valverde Sun Ball," below, exemplifies her glorious pastels. 

      In February our full complement of artists will contribute to "Nocturne," a group exhibition celebrating the romance and mystery of nighttime. Watch for more details.

     For sheer enjoyment, check out our new online gallery for V. Vaughan's pet commissions. You'll see a series of photos taken by pet owners and the paintings V. created based on them. You'll see that she has a unique gift for capturing a beloved animal's spirit. You may be inspired to capture your family friend on canvas ... and what a wonderful gift for the pet lover in your family! While all the portraits featured here are of dogs, V. has also done cats and horses. Again, click the Artists link at left to see her gallery.
