ARTISTS
TO DISCUSS
ARTWORK AT DALLAS DEPOT
In
conjunction with our current Depot art exhibit
Art of the Blue Ridge Realists, artists Jack
Greenfield and Scott Boyle will discuss their
artwork at the Depot located at 205 West Main
Street in Dallas, on January 3, 2010 from 3:00 -
4:00 pm.
Jack Greenfield's watercolor paintings are

realism. There is a sense of nostalgia involved

rural south. Because the artist is classified as
a realist he will talk on how watercolors can
achieve depth thru layered washes along with
strongly developed textures to give life to
the painting.
Gaston County
Artist Scott Boyle will discuss his artwork on
January 3rd at the Depot in Dallas.
Nationally known Gaston County Artist Scott Boyle
considers himself a visual explorer of the
effects of light upon the landscape. He
