Painting Demonstration by Monte Wilson

On Saturday, 21 August, Monte Wilson gave a demonstration of the skills he has developed as an artist.  Somehow, I never quite finished this blog entry.  Please forgive the long-delayed posting.

Despite a recent broken-ankle, and borderline hostile work environment, Monte delivered on his scheduled painting demonstration.  Ridgmar Mall even allowed us to set him up in the common area near our front door.  This was both a blessing and a curse.  On the one hand, it allowed a number of people to watch Monte, who might not have otherwise entered the store.  On the other hand, there was also a children's event in the area known as "Macy's Court"...and the noise level drove quite a number of adults to seek sanctuary.  ;-)

After an extended break, Monte was able to complete the painting above.  All-in-all, a pretty impressive performance.  And, the high-bidder in a silent auction went home with a framed, original, oil-painting by Monte.

Monte has introduced a line of small originals, typically about 6" by 8".  And, in addition to his gallery and web presence, he is offering some of them via his ebay store.

Once again, I apologize for the delay in this posting.
