A Tribute, and Sad Goodbye

This April the LaVeta Fine Art Gallery closed its doors and wrapped up a wonderful chapter in the life of the scenic town of LaVeta in Southern Colorado. This gallery ran strong for about 8 years- amazingly as a co-op of artists - with a far reaching reputation for excellence. I remember, years ago, peering into its window, after hours - amazed at the very high level of artists represented there.
In 2009 I was asked to join the stable of represented artists and was impressed by the integrity and professionalism of the group; artists like Robert Buckner, Joan Hanley, Tim Deibler, Janey Waldrep, Annie Enke, Claude Appel, and Paul Foster.
In the end, neither a lack of sales (I can attest to that) or interest, forced the closing but attrition and the wearing work of running a gallery, as artists - not strictly gallery owners.
Thank You, especially to Bob Buckner, friend, and fabulous painter/sculptor - I am your biggest fan. Thank you for inviting me to be a part of something really special, and for all of your support and encouragement.
Finally, all the Best, to every artist that was a part of this fine gallery.

ParTy in LaVeta Saturday Night

The LaVeta Fine Art Gallery is hosting its Spring Art Opening on Saturday, May 23rd at 5pm. in LaVeta on 210 S. Main St.
Of course, there will be food and the artists will be on hand.
I am very excited to be represented by the LaVeta Fine Art Gallery, which also represents such artists as Robert Buckner, Joan Hanley, Peggy Zehring, and Ricky Tims. The charming town of LaVeta is a great place to visit by the Scenic Train from Alamosa or go to for a day of painting.
The pieces shown here will be on display at the opening and I am looking forward to a long relationship with this wonderful gallery.
