Gerald King's Art Exhibition

On September 10, Saturday, Simon and I went down to Prince George's Community College to see the art exhibition, "The Old Guard Rides Again" Gerald had several of his landscapes in the exhibit and one of his great portraits. See the photos below. We really enjoyed the exhibit. There was one piece of art in mixed media called "Mother Nature". I think I would have bought it, but Simon kept telling me it was just one more thing to dust and then I couldn't find the artist, so I let it go. Probably for the best. The "Temple of Light" was extraordinary. Of course, Gerald King is my favorite fine artist. For those who are interested, you can purchase his paintings. Oils for the collector or Prints for the rest of us. Check out his web site at www.geraldking.com If you think you want a portrait done of yourself, your home, your pet, Gerald is the one to see. Prices are very reasonable. I have a portrait with myself and my dog Mattie. It will be passed down in the family forever. They will always know who I am and what I look like. I can't wait for the day when my son gets to hang it in his living room and has to look at me every day! The exhibit continues until September 16 - don't be a couch potato. Get down there and get some culture. See my later post for more information. And, if you just cannot get up off the couch, look at my photos. When are we going to pay artists and teachers the salaries we pay our sports and movie stars? What kind of world is this anyway?
