Bancroft and Area Autumn Studio Tour 2024
I am very happy to be part of the Bancroft and Area Studio Tour (BAST) the last two weekends of September (21 & 22 and 28 & 29). GrayBell Studio will be open to the public with lots of big, dramatic paintings that are a combination of impressionist, abstract and expressionist styles. More information about location will be posted closer to the dates. Hope to see you there! Below, see some of the paintings that will be available with size and price. Email me at [email protected] if you have any questions.
Pricing Philosophy-My paintings are priced based on time and effort required to make them. Sometimes a big splashy abstract takes less time then a small, detailed landscape. Some take a few hours, some take weeks, even months to create. I had an interesting conversation with a gallerist about "value" versus "worth". In putting a price on my paintings, I've tried to avoid how much I value the painting versus what I think it is worth. I've kept a few paintings over the years because I value them so much, I could not sell them for any price. That is not based on the merit of the painting, if it's "good" or not, but rather the connection I have to it. Finally, I paint because it gives me peace and joy, but what am I supposed to do with them all? I hope some of them find a new home!
