A Certain Place, Through February 28th

Artists love adventure, travel, and “favorite spots”. It allows artists time to pause, reflect, and enjoy the beauty, or the uniqueness of a particular locale. As artists linger, more is seen and felt. Sometimes, a certain place is the catalyst for an idea, a study, or a painting on location. The artists from Gallery One explore and share their “Certain Place”. Gallery One, Ocean View.
