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.

SEVEN ARTISTS PAINT FORT BEND COUNTY, TX

Steve Conrad, Fran Knueppel, Jean Olliver, Chuck Rawle, Billy Rotter,  Reg Stark and Monroe Williams have put together some interesting work dealing with the past, present and future of Fort Bend County, Texas.  In case you've not heard of us, we're located southwest of Houston, Harris County, Texas.  Ft. Bend is one of the fastest growing counties in the country today with new subdivisions popping up everywhere.  Founded in 1823, before Texas became a Republic, it was like most places of its time, rural with large land owners thriving growing sugar cane, cotton and cattle.  In the mid 1900's, oil struck in a number of areas, and, as they say, the rest is History.  Sugar Land, the largest city in the county was recently selected as one of the best places to live.  Morton Street Gallery is located in Richmond, an historic town of about 10,000 and the County Seat.  These artists live in different areas and have used their various talents to depict something about the nature of the place.  We hope you enjoy this preview.  If you want to see the rest....we're here.
