COME IN AND PAUSE AWHILE

Richmond is the County Seatof Ft Bend, a town of about 10,000 and 30 miles or so from Houston. But it is not surburbia. It is truly a small town. If you're in the vacinity, stop by and see us.

ART EXHIBITION AT IMPERIAL GALLERY IN SUGAR LAND

Reg Stark of Sugar Land, (also MSG) and I have been invited to show at Sugar Land's new Imperial Theatre.  I say 'new' because this will be only their 2nd exhibition of the visual arts.  We will be showing with a young abstractionist whom I have not yet met.  We are excited both because it is a great opportunity for us but also because it is wonderful to have the Imperial Theater open in our area.  It was founded by Edward Crowell, Executive Director of the Imperial Performing Arts and directed by Robyn Miller.  The theater was created to support, promote and encourage the fine arts in the community.  The Theatre will hold an Opening on Monday evening, Oct. 3, 6-8.  Please show a strong support for this fine organization.  It is my understanding that they will be supporting visual artists from this area along with their theater productions and music and dance performances.

Painting Arrives

The painting arrived in Tucson today, along with the other furniture for the new house.  I'm anxious to see how it looks on the wall.  It will be high on a two story wall over the entrance to a bedroom.  There is an office loft in the room which will look directly at it, but the bed will look up.  This design was to represent a large window on the wall where you could see the treetops and the evening sky just after dusk.  I'll see it myself in a couple of months.

Finished at Last

Put the stars in today and some last sparkle.  Not the greatest picture because I can't get directly in front due to lack of space.  But, overall, I'm pleased with it.  It was a real challenge, but I really had fun painting it.  Next week it will be on its way to its new home in Tucson.

We host buffets, meetings, parties, coctail parties and more


Event Time: Rent Our Gallery



Got the lift going and started yesterday. It takes a little practice.

With my friends on hand to catch me if I fell and a little practice, I got things going and gave a preliminary coat of paint.  Now my hands look like I'm a member of the "Blue Man Group".  Nothing like Thalo Blue.  Come by the gallery anytime and watch.

Moving the Canvas to the front.

My husband,Glenda, daughter in law Marie and grandchildren and Alex, the chef across the street, moved the 8x10 canvas to the front so I can paint it.   This was no easy task since it had to exit the back through the outside double door, travel to the front of the building and reenter through more double door...and hope it doesn't  get caught by a gust of wind.  I had to move it into the gallery so I could know when customers enter.  The trials of owning a gallery by yourself.  Come by and say hello.

Experience Morton Street Gallery's Art Opening, Saturday, Jan. 29, 5:30-7:30

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet one of Fort Bend Countys premier artists.  His paintings are always exquisitely painted and extremely thought provoking.  If you want to know more about his work, ask him.  He is a very interesting man who paints directly from his innermost thoughts.  His collectors continue to grow in number and enthusiam here and throughout the Houston area. The goal of the artist is not always to reproduce what he sees as in photography, but to create an emotional reaction in the viewer.  Ideally, as a viewer changes with time, the painting will continue to hold this appeal.  Morton Street Gallery is very proud to display this artist's work.  We hope you will join us for some light Hors D'oeuvres, wine and conversation this Saturday.

OPENING FOR REG STARK, Saturday, January 29th, 5:30-7:30pm
