Inspired at Art Fairs

Art fairs - Richard J. Oliver landscape painting — "it took me 8 years to gather the courage to attempt to paint the splendor of Yosemite Valley. By focusing mostly on the morning light licking the tops of the trees and the warm and cool contrasts It made the scene a little less intimidating to attempt to portray and I was thrilled to receive an award for this painting!"

Inspired at Art Fairs

by Richard J. Oliver

It has always been a dream for my wife, Michelle, and I to have our own family gallery and participating at art fairs is a first step in that direction. As it turns out, they have been so much more rewarding than I could have ever imagined and in ways I didn’t think possible.

Since our earlier show at the Southwest Arts Festival near Palm Springs, Michelle and I have put all our attention on upcoming fairs, which bring the potential of new collectors right to our gallery.

Each new town offers a whole new market and opportunity to share my love for painting with new, wonderfully interesting people. It reminds me of being a musician on tour and getting immediate feedback from performing our art in front of an audience.
