It's Tuesday!


This shows the gallery wrapped canvas from the side.

This piece is titled "Pears II", acrylic on canvas, 8" x 8" and is a mere $100!!



Jane Hudson, editor of Her Magazine posed a terrific question to her readers' panel in the February issue. She asked "What is the one thing that you will always splurge on?" One (really sharp!) panelist answered "For a true indulgence, a small painting from City Art Gallery in the Lynndale Shoppes - a visual treat that you will enjoy forever." Naturally we enjoyed this remark! And it just so happens that Kristin Gibson has just delivered a very fine group of small paintings to us at the gallery. Kristin is an ECU graduate and has a fresh , unique approach to her paintings. She works in her home studio and sets up her still lifes and then paints. They are all on gallery wrapped canvases, meaning that the stretcher bars that the canvas is attached to are especially deep, and the staples are hidden in the back. This allows her to continue her image on all four sides of the canvas, thus it is not necessary to frame the pieces. Of course you can frame the painting if you so desire! You should check out Kristin's work on our web site and you'll find the prices are just perfect for treating yourself to an indulgence or giving as a gift. Coincidentally I have just commissioned Kristin to paint a bridal bouquet as a wedding gift for a dear friend who was married in Palm Beach last weekend. She is great at commissions!
Cheers!
