Old School House Gallery Opening TONIGHT!

Two Receptions In One Trip!

You are invited to the opening receptions for The New Mexico Colored Pencil Society's and a 2-person show featuring new work by V. Adair Peterson and Lois Bradley tomorrow, Friday November 4th from 5-8 pm.

The Colored Pencil Society's show is in the back alcove gallery and features stunningly beautiful work by some of New Mexico's finest colored pencil artists. Come take a look at these unusual, interesting and colorful works of art! The show will hang through the end of November.

The main gallery features an eclectic blend of acrylic, egg tempera, fused glass, watercolor and oil pastel by well-recognized artist V. Adair Peterson and recent Local Treasure honoree Lois Bradley. Adair's egg tempera paintings are known for the luminous, glowing colors which capture the rock formations, landscape and environment of the Southwest. Lois's most recent series, Quilted Landscapes, explores the connection between family and landscape in deeply saturated oil pastel and mixed media.

Come enjoy a glass of cider or wine and mingle with this diverse group of artists! See you then!

CPSA DC 219 - Gallery Show!

The announcement from Sharon over at the Old Shool House Gallery went out this weekend - so here's a sneak peek and reminder in case you are not on the gallery email-list:
-----
November is right around the corner and The Old Schoolhouse Gallery has an exciting opening planned for Friday the 4th from 5 to 8pm.  We are proud to host the annual Colored Pencil Society show which will feature new work from some of the most talented local artists.  Come see what they can do with the lowly pencil and paper--you'll be amazed! 
 
The gallery is also pleased to be showcasing the work of two of our own artists: 
 
V. Adair Peterson will be showing us what she's recently accomplished in three very different media: fused glass, egg tempera and acrylics.  The spectrum of Adair's work is truly amazing and must be seen "in person" to be fully appreciated!
 
And last but not least, we will be featuring new work by Lois Bradley.  As many of you may know, in addition to her work as a fine artist and illustrator, Lois is responsible for most of the gallery's marketing efforts, including our website.  Lois was recently celebrated as be "A Local Treasure" by the city of Albuquerque. 
 
So please come join us for a glass of wine or cider by the fireplace while you peruse the latest work by our local talent!  Hope to see you here!
Sharon
