Winter is here, already! Enjoy our Michigan winter in downtown Dexter as we introduce our newest landscape artist, PATRICK BLAKEMORE.

The Gallery will be exhibiting 8 of Patrick’s plein air oil paintings from November 28 - January 17. Patrick paints the Michigan landscape, focusing on the effects of light and water. As an emerging artist, his brushwork is already vibrant and decisive. His paintings are impressionist, demonstrating his lively feel for color and an astute sense of observation, resulting in deliberate, lush, and juicy brushwork. Please join us for wine and cheese on Friday, November 28^th, from 6-8pm, while simultaneously acquainting yourself with the work of Patrick Blakemore as well as supporting local contemporary artists. Early next year we will be exhibiting some of his larger works, which I have already previewed and was instantly infatuated. This young man has a promising and bright future!!!

We also have on exhibit beautiful paintings including luminous landscapes in oil by Nora Venturelli, Susan Amstutz and Jay Asquini, Southwest inspired watercolor paintings by Barbara Anderson, Michigan barns by Dexter artist and musician Bob Johnson, exotic wildlife paintings by Marcy Bradley, watercolors and miniature porcelains by the sought-after and collected James C. Clark, national award-winning color pencil artist Dee Overly, and miniature oils and watercolors by Delilah Smith.
