NEXT OPENING

Our next opening will showcase three of our most popular artist, Reg Stark, Steve Conrad and Fran Knueppel.  With this group you never know what will happen so be sure to give come if you can.  Reg has been going more and more into Surrealism, and Steve Conrad....well, who knows where his mind roams.  But they're always interesting.  Stay turned and I'll soon have a sneak peek for a little enticement.

"Chisos Mountains" oil by Chuck Rawle.

Here is a sample of Chuck's work.

Straight from the Headlines

Richmond artist Chuck Rawle has work in an exhibit at the Texas State Capitol.  His works in "The Stampede Show" includes landscapes and western themes.  Chuck show here at MSG, and we are very proud for this recognition of his work.  The Stampede show will be on display in Fredericksburg through March. 

What's Up Now at MSG

We have some excellent new work at the Gallery, and a new artist Kenneth Pierce.  Kenneth does extremely detailed drawings in Prismacolor.  He is a young artist, just getting started, with a  lot of talent.  We feel he has no where to go but UP.  Also Houston Watercolorist Mark Stewart brought in some wonderful new scenes from central Texas, and Kelly Bailey has some small works that are a real departure from his detailed watercolors.  Hope you'll take the opportunity to come by and see what's new.  There is more detail on our website.
