Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! In the midst of all the holiday preparations and events, we wish to give you the opportunity to relax and feast your eyes on all the beautiful new artwork arriving at Fountainside Gallery.
Our December exhibit "Travels of an American Painter" features the oils of Don Sahli. Don is a plein-aire (outdoor painting) impressionist who studied with the great Russian painter Sergei Bongart. Bongart emigrated to the US where he influenced an entire generation of artists; many of his students are in prestigious galleries across the country. "Travels of an American Painter" includes the paintings inspired by Don's journey from Southport, NC to Washington DC as well as a few pieces from his western sojourns. The fabulous color and expressive brushwork make for an exciting group of images! Don and wife Cindy will be at the gallery FRIDAY, DEC. 8, 6-8 PM and again on SATURDAY, DEC. 9, 2-4 PM.....so plan an evening or afternoon to meet him and see this wonderful collection. If you can't attend, the entire set of works is on our website www.fountainsidegallery.com
Also in the gallery this month is a collection of small works by new artist Sandy Nelson which include small pieces perfect for gifting to that special person on your list. Subjects range from marsh landscapes to small children on our local beaches, all at great prices for originals! Sandy has just relocated to Wilmington from the Outer Banks and having a great time painting the area; she is also a professional portrait painter who is working on a new piece that will grace the cover of "Bench and Bar" magazine in the next few months.
North Carolina artist Shaun Richards is now represented by Fountainside Gallery; Shaun paints hauntingly beautiful figure pieces in a large format as well as landscapes. He has just been awarded an Artist in Residence Grant from the North Carolina Arts Council and we think he has a great future ahead of him!
MT McClanahan, an artist from Grimesland, NC, is now also in the Fountainside Gallery family. His large paintings of boats and beaches are beautifully painted in an impressionist style and a great accent for any decor. MT's works have been very popular with locals and visitors alike, so check them out on the website.
December specials are running throughout the month and include 10% off on artist designed jewelry and 15% off our group of gorgeous art glass pieces! Drop by and take a look at these incredible additions to your collection!
We are showcasing several new Martin Eichinger sculptures that have just arrived and are simply breathtaking. Martin is internationally known and collected; we think you will see why when you view his beautiful figures!
