What a beautiful exhibition Rus! I can’t wait to see it in person!
Love, Jan
Many thanks! A beautiful space for bigger paintings. Nice to see them breathe!
Wow Russell- what a collection! Some of the most figurative pieces I have seen of yours. Wonderful
Thank you, Diane! Looking to strike that balance between heart and head.
Good morning, Russell,
Thank you (and Bar) for these great photographs of your opening on Saturday. Nancy and I regret that we were unable to attend. (Our grandson Ian had three games and a party to celebrate his 14th birthday.) We will see your paintings when we return to Greenfield from Southport later this month. I love your new paintings.
I appreciate your priorities, and I am glad that the show will be there with plenty of time for you to see it. The paintings look best in real time and space!
Gail and I are looking forward to our visit!
As are we! Keep us posted.
Congratulations on your show, Russell! What a lovely show, brimming with your commitment to and love of nature and the land. Sorry I wasn’t able to attend your opening reception. I hope to stop by and experience in person while your show is open.
Paint on!
Thank you, Julie (and for the encouragement)! Hope you can make it.
