We finally made a trip to see the new Burchfield Penney art gallery. What a stunningly beautiful place! We went on Sunday, the last day of the "holidays" and it was a perfect time to go. I was thrilled to see Charles Burchfield's studio preserved, shown here on the left. Artists always like to see other artists' studios. The gallery has a great collection of his works; it's nice to see watercolors given the place of honor the
y so rightly deserve.The layout of the gallery is lovely. The view from the second story down below is shown in the photo on the right. It's wonderful that this gallery will focus upon Western New York artists. I loved getting to see pieces from fellow members of the Buffalo Society of Artists.
All in all, this is a spectacular addition to the Buffalo landscape and will be such a welcome addition to the artistic community.

Hi Kathie,
I still haven't been over to the new Burchfield! I went to the Albright Knox this friday and some other openings...I put them on my Fine Art Blog. You'll see some people you know there!

Mary,
I'll check out your photos. You are doing so well with all your postings...just maintaining one blog is enough for me! You must feel so inspired with all those fabulous photos you took in England!
Happy painting!
Kathie
