Letter from Keith Wilcock - Wilcock Gallery

Dear Richard,

Here is a progress report on the OPM Arboretum show.

Wow!  Forty three artists responded to the call and brought  82 paintings to the Wilcock gallery.  The quality is excellent. Joe and I had a difficult time deciding what to include.  As I mentioned, the Reedy gallery can accommodate about 50 paintings..  Because many of the pieces are small, we are pushing the total to 55 or 60. Everyone who entered will get at least one piece in. We eliminated some of the snowscapes in favor of flowers.  We had a few too many shades of green landscapes and tried to choose pieces that would represent variety. Several pieces were actually painted at the Arboretum.

We still need some artist statements for the binder in the gallery.  They can be e-mailed to us at joe@wilcockgallery.com .

It was fun meeting so many seasoned artists, seeing their art and learning more about their activities and careers.  We hope to see OPM members painting in the Arboretum, if spring ever really does arrive.

Questions or concerns can be directed to us at (952) 470-8118.

Keith Wilcock
