I find out that there is a wonderful art gallery in Kirkland area, and it is located in downtown Kirkland, named Howard / Mandville Gallery. I went in on a Friday and was totally amazed by its fantastic artistic atmosphere. I was almost fooled by its small appearance—after got inside of the Howard / Mandville Gallery, then I just realized that it was a gallery which occupies over 4,000 square feet of gallery space. What’s more, they are also the one who offers one of the largest collections of fine art in the Seattle area.
The art works that they present at the gallery are both regional and nationally acclaimed artists working in contemporary realist and traditional styles. More impressively, there are over 50 artists who show with the gallery on a regular basis, including works in oil, acrylic, watercolor and bronze. The gallery also features rotating monthly exhibits of artists’ works ranging from one person shows to group exhibitions such as our annual Anniversary Show and Small Works Show.
I am most impressed by the paintings that they present in the art gallery. On their website, I actually find out that there are 58 painting artists’ works are yearly demonstrating in the Howard / Mandville Gallery. Four of the artists are from my country, China~ But fairly speaking, the artist who I like the most is the one who named Sueellen Ross. Her works are mainly focusing on animals. Reading her personal biography, I notice that Sueellen Ross began drawing animals as soon as she could hold a pencil and never stopped. I think that her love for animals and their distinct personalities is apparent in every work of art she creates.
Right now it is Kent Lovelace’s personally art work, and the name of the gallery show is called the The Bourgogne Paintings, it is going to be closed on March. 20th. His works are wildly engaged with trees. I think that a lot of the artists have their favorites in drawing from different kinds of aspects, and this is tied closely within their cultural references.
