Abingdon plein air painter Kyle Buckland has been commissioned by the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center to paint a series of paintings which he calls "Nestled In". The painting at the right is from a series of studies depicting our region nestled in between the Clinch and Holston Mountains. The largest canvas in the suite will be four foot by five foot. Stay tuned.
We are pleased to announce that Blue Windmill Galleries is now representing the works of David Spence. We are currently building our inventory of bronzes and working drawings and are looking forward to featuring new works by this American master. Please contact the gallery for more information.
