Last weekend we had the pleasure of participating in the 17th Annual Boston International Fine Art Show! As always, Fusco & Four put on a great show. Thank you to all our collectors and friends who came by to support us!
In case you missed it, here's a look our booth:
A while back we made a wildly successful gallery postcard that quickly disappeared! In trying to create something visual that people could take with them to remember the gallery, we have a new gallery postcard with images of some of the all-time favorite paintings that have graced the walls of SMG!
Swing by the gallery to snag one (and even one for a friend) before they vanish! A little daily art inspiration to keep at your desk, in your studio, on your fridge, or even as a bookmark :)
We could not be more excited or proud to announce that our very own Carlo Russo's stunning painting 'Dreams of Ophelia' was selected in the Art Renewal Center's 2013 International Salon Competition for a Purchase Prize and 3rd Place in the Figurative Category!
Carlo is an incredible painter and could not be a more deserving guy. Just as many of you, we are going to miss 'Ophelia' at the gallery, but are happy to see her find a fantastic home!
Carlo's 'The Blue Dress' was chosen as a finalist in the Still Life Category and can be seen in the gallery!
These two beautiful landscapes, by gallery artist Kathleen Dunphy, were both chosen as finalist in the Landscape Category in the ARC's 2013 International Salon Competition.
Boston based artist Kelly Carmody, an invitational artist in our recent Back to BackExhibition, had her painting 'The Fisherman' (left) chosen as a finalist in the Figurative Category! Kelly's two Back to Back pieces are still on view in the gallery.
Mary Sauer's 'Erin' (right) was chosen as a finalist in the Portrait Society of America's 2013 International Portrait Competition. Awards were given out at the Annual Art of the Portrait Conference where 'Erin' received an Award of Exceptional Merit.
We are incredibly lucky to have so many accomplished artists represented in the gallery. All of them work extremely hard and we appreciate organizations, such as the Art Renewal Center and Portrait Society of America, who take the time to recognize their accomplishments.
Stop by the gallery to see works from these artists as well as all the other talented artists we carry!
It's Friday again! This week we are happy to feature a frame, and painting, by Carlo Russo. Carlo is another one of our artists who makes his own frames. Having been to his studio, and seen him working through this frame, we know how much he thinks about the color, profile, and finish on his frames.
Carlo did an amazing job with the gold leaf detail. The gold picks up on the browns and tans of the painting, playing off her skin tone perfectly. The frame looks classic, even though it was only made a few months ago.
If you haven't seen this painting or frame in person, be sure to stop by the gallery soon! It's hanging in a prime spot behind the nook desk!
