An evening with Martin Pate

Big thanks to my friend, Martin Pate for his demonstration here @ Dogwood Gallery.

He is truly one of the area's finest painters. Also, we appreciate the excellent crowd that

attended last Thursday. I hope to do more exhibitions like this in the near future, as it

gives the viewers a glimpse into the techniques used to create fine artwork.

New York artist, Dennis Witnauer, was one of the first to join Dogwood Gallery with his hand painted birds. He creates his work from photographs, notes and memory. The backgrounds are chosen specifically to depict the "character and personality" of each bird.  Dennis continues to be a gallery favorite.
