Come For A Walk
August 2010: Paul Gleason - Oil Painting
Reception Saturday, August 14th, from 3-5 p.m.
My work is based on careful observation and outdoor painting. I attempt to capture the real look and feel of the Oregon Coast, with its delicate colors and atmosphere. I paint using a disciplined method that gives primacy to the subject as I experience it in real time, without gimmicks, fluff, or trendy period stylizations. - Paul Gleason
There will be a reception with refreshments for Paul Gleason on August 14th during the GALA Art Walk. Everybody is invited.
