Super demonstration for art buyers and painters in the crowd...

I did the 5.5hr drive to Lodi, CA to visit the Knowlton Gallery, where Robin Knowlton was opening a great exhibit and "meet the artists" wine and artist talk afternoon. What a great time and the collection is super. World class artists [visit the Knowlton Gallery home page for the details] stood & spoke about their work. Artist Tim Horn gave a 2 hr painting demo which was really why I was interested in the first place. You can visit Tim's blog here too. The demo went almost 2 hrs. Visitors were in their seats with questions & comments all the way. What a great way for pro-painters to allow gallery-goers in on how they work from selection of a subject to completion of a canvas. This kind of "behind the scenes" stuff peaks buyers interest for sure & is a great place for always-learning painters like me to see how it's done and learn even more so we can have as much fun doing it was possible. I did.
