Reception
Saturday, October 1, 2-5 P.M. at Gallery 10
Howard Rees and
Bruce Hancock
“A Mixed Bag”
Howard Rees and
Bruce Hancock have been painting together for over ten years, creating art in
many different locations, tackling various subject matters. The October show at Gallery 10 will feature a
variety of landscapes, still life pieces and figurative work from both of them. “A Mixed Bag” describes the eclectic nature
of this show.
Howard Rees
started his lifelong art career doing mainly watercolors.
“Most of my early commercial work was done in
gouache, an opaque watercolor, so staying with transparent watercolor was a
natural progression!” Since then he has
played with many mediums, concentrating on oil painting for the past ten
years. For this current show, Howard is
getting back to his roots, painting in watercolor again!
Bruce Hancock has
spent over 40 years in design and construction management. He has returned to a
childhood interest in art and has begun to paint! His very first painting instructor was Howard
Rees. After taking instruction for a
variety of accomplished artists, Bruce has found “plein air” painting to be his
favorite activity.
“The energy and immediacy of the outdoor art experience
can’t be duplicated in any other way,” Bruce says. “As a fourth generation native Californian,
it’s only natural that I find endless inspiration in this beautiful state!”
Bruce also enjoys
the peace and quiet of studio painting, and has spent time doing still life and
figurative painting in recent years. He
describes his art as an eclectic collection, “A Mixed Bag.”
“The artist’s
journey never ends,” say both Howard and Bruce, and together they continue to
meet to paint and explore that never ending
adventure of putting paint on canvas or paper!
