New Year's Resolution

Hi Folks, time flies when your having fun and here we are in 2012. One of my New Year's resolutions is to keep up with my blog, finishing up some thoughts and ideas I started in 2011.

Just a quick update for now.

A few wonderful things has happened with Bowersock Gallery.We just had our first opening at our newest location, in lovely historic downtown Mount Dora, FL. The turn out was better than we had ever anticipated. We met some lovely people, made new friends; best of all, folks found our artists highly collectable. Not to mention that we made it through the Boston International Fine Art show, with wonderful reviews. Thanks everyone for a fabulous 2011.

Also, I just learned that Mount Dora is getting in on the Encaustic movement, somethings happening on January 28-29 2012. I'll fine out more. It's wonderful to see! Art is Alive.

Visit us online bowersockgallery.com and in Provincetown- we will be closed for Januray but will be open Presidents Day Weekend. You can also e-mail us at info@bowersockgallery.com.
Happy New Year!

Diane Kirkpatrick came on board as a guest artist at the end of last season, creating an immediate impact. She is now a signed artist.

Having toured our artists’ studios throughout the winter months, witnessing the work each is doing, the season could only be dubbed “Spectacular."
