Two Viewsof the Treasured Coast by Grover Slater and Gingi Martin

Martin and Slater had spent all March of '06 traveling about Florida to capture it's full splendor.
Not a day would escape them without sketching some landscape or vignette of this beautiful location. A wonderful show was compiled showing all of their most treasured moments.
Slater worked in watercolor and Martin in oils, their work is so well executed.

They took time to give a very detailed talk on the techniques and inspirations. They also went into the where and how of the paintings.

The meet-up not only featured the show but, also then I introduced our new Executive Director and Artistic Coordinator to the artists and general public.
Our Director also then introduced me to the group as the originator of the Meet-Ups very wonderfully I might add. I was very, very pleased with the entire event ;)
The next meet-up will be at my gallery The Flemish House Art Gallery/Studio on October 25th at 6:30.
