A former art student of ours, Marty Ryan, had his first one man show , which opened at a Maplewood gallery on Friday night. My good buddies, Julie, and Pat and I met at Schafly's mini brewery, and then went to the opening. Other Mehlville teachers, Judy, and Sue were there, also.
We were all so proud of Marty's accomplishment, and his drive to include 100 paintings in the exhibition. All of his work showed very expressive imagery, and use of vivid color. His inner thoughts were his subject, and he showed great courage to put himself out there the way he did.... His work was all on canvas, and he uses acrylic for his medium. They varied in size and approach to the subject, with images ranging from landscape, to floral to portrait... He sold quite a few, too, and had an EXCELLENT turn out !! Congratulations, Marty, Keep up that painting !!!
