Going into 2010 Welcome to PursleyArt.com. featuring the paintings of artist, Craig Pursley. Last year was a great one for our gallery in Bath, NH, nearly equaling 2008, which was our best ever! And all this during a terrible economy! And 2009 was the most productive year I've ever had, completing 204 paintings. This was partially made possible by the work done for an upcoming show of small works which allowed me to do 51 in November and December alone. I feel like I learned a lot in '09 in terms of technique and am inspired to continue to improve, thanks to input of artist friends and observation of the work of artists, both living and dead. I look forward to 2010 and am excited about several prospects including being part of a three-man show at Villas and Verandas Gallery in San Juan Capistrano, California in February. While I'm on the subject of that gallery, I'd like to thank Aida and Ron, who own and run Villas and Verandas. From the start they have been terrific people to work with, establishing an unparalled relationship of trust and good will. If you are ever in the beautiful San Juan Capistrano area, please seek them out. They have a lot of tremendous artists in their stable and are just great people. Also, I may be hosting a three day workshop this spring in Northern N.H. and am checking into the logistics for that now. I'll post more on that if it works out. In April, I plan on attending the National Portrait Conference in Washington, DC and anticipate coming away a better and more inspired artist. If you are considering having a portrait done, please click on the "Portrait and Other" category above and take a look at some examples of my work. And if you like what you see, please feel free to contact me and discuss a commission. There are also a lot of new paintings of New England and California here. Some of these are available directly through us at the American Heritage Gallery of Art in Bath, NH while some reside in other galleries. If there is a particular piece in which you are interested, please email us at craigpursley@roadrunner.com or call (603) 747-3050 or (603) 747-3020 to check on availability and pricing.
