Miss. Oil Painters Club Reception

I visited the first day of the reception.  Lots of excellent oil paintings.  There was a full room of them, and a large crowd.  There will be another reception day on Sunday.  My preference is landscapes, and the majority of the paintings were these.  The sizes went from miniature to wall-filling, so not just for one location or venue.  I really enjoyed the event.  It is at the Jackson Street Gallery in Ridgeland, MS.

Pacesetter Gallery

 The Miss. Artists Guild held its monthly meeting at Pacesetter Gallery this month.  It is located on Lakeland Drive in Rankin County.  The gallery is about six months old so far.  The artwork tends more toward abstract and landscape, with a smaller amount of realism.  The owner is also an artist.  It is a very enjoyable experience, not too formal.  There is also a certain amount of pottery and jewelry.  There was enough room for the Guild seating, but I am not sure where the next seated meeting will be.  The Guild does have an upcoming show in February at Jackson Prep on Lakeland Drive.  That will be our meeting night.  I will have two paintings in that show.
