Glendale, CA

Howard Terpning "The Sound Of A Distant Bugle" oil 45" x 68"

Opening the first weekend in February each year, the Autry National Center's Masters of the American West Fine Art Exhibition and Sale presents new works by the nation's leading contemporary Western artists. Stylistically and thematically diverse, their works represent the extraordinary range of subject matter that contemporary, historic, and mystic Western experiences continue to inspire. This year's juried exhibition and sale opens on Saturday, February 6, 2010, and will feature 75 artists who have painted, sculpted, and drawn exceptional artworks. Now in its 13th year, this prestigious exhibition challenges these nationally recognized artists to exhibit their very best work. Opening weekend activities include an exclusive artists' dinner with Masters sponsors, the traditional chuck wagon lunch and awards ceremony, special presentations by Masters artists, a cocktail reception, and the official evening sale. All the artwork in the show will remain on exhibit through Sunday, March 7, 2010.

"Through The Painter's Eye"

Scottsdale Fine Art - Scottsdale, AZ

David Gray "Rebecca" oil 9" x 12"

Scottsdale Fine Art’s annual "Through the Painter’s Eye Show" features five remarkable Realism artists. Annually, this popular show unites talented artist David Gray with other gallery artists for a different themed show each year. This year our exceptional Realism artists contribute their unique styles demonstrating a full range of the latest in this art form. Artists participating in the show include Camille Engel, Jay Davenport, Randy Ford, David Gray and ceramicist Karen Shapiro. The spectrum of oil painting techniques and subject matter here includes the urban landscape, still life and figurative paintings. We’ve brought in ceramic sculpture this year as well adding a three dimensional component to assemble a show with a full range of offerings within Realism. While diversely different, the range of work comes together creating a thread of harmony within the genre.
