Gary G. Greene : 40 Years and Still At It : October 2006

40 Years and Still At It… A Retrospective of the Art of Gary G. Greene will be showing in the East Gallery and the Mulberry Room of Mulberry Art Studios throughout the month of October.  The public is invited to attend an opening reception on Friday, October 6th from 5:00pm until 8:00pm.  The artist will also be hosting a reception on Saturday, October 7th from 11:00am until 3:00pm.  This show will be available during Second Sunday events on Sunday, October 15th from 1:00pm until 4:00pm.  

This forty year retrospective collection will display artwork done in watercolor, oil, pastels, and etching, and will include at least one piece from each year.  Greene has worked in many different mediums throughout the past forty years, but finds watercolor to be the most spontaneous and portable.  Those are important qualities since Greene prefers to paint out in nature, where he finds the most inspiration.  “Nature is awe-inspiring” says Greene.  “I feel so much closer to God when out in nature… in the woods, on a hillside, or by a pond.” 

More than three thousand of Greene’s paintings are part of private and corporate collections.  Greene has had one man exhibitions in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington, DC; including a twenty-five year retrospective show at the Civic Center Mansion Galleries in Rockville, Maryland.  Greene is a member of the American Impressionist Society, the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, and was a former president of the Washington Society of Landscape Painters.
