Bob Cook has figured a way to print beautiful photographic images on actual pieces of slate. Here’s an iconic Texas windmill.

He’s got another. It’s a picture of rocks. So it’s rocks on rocks. You’ll have to come in to the gallery to see it. And there’s a lot more.

Aspens

When you visit Colorado at just the right time in the fall you can find yourself surrounded by golden. With this photographic treatment, Judy Nicholls tried to emphasize the golden, relieved just a bit by the small evergreen tree. Come by our gallery and you can see Aspens as well as many more beautiful works of art.

It’s that time again,

Every couple of months, we “re-hang” the entire gallery and we just did it a few days back. It’s true that while some of the pieces are merely relocated, a whole bunch of new items are brought in and you don’t want people you don’t even know to get first crack at the freshest new art in the Hill country. Do you? So come on in. Here’s a taste:

Photographs on aluminum

Bob Cook, who is a painter and photographer has come up with a process to print fine art photographs directly on to aluminum. This gives a unique glow to certain images and as examples, Bob has hung two works: “Empties” and “Thorny Home” Each floats off the wall by a unique mounting method.

Gallery rehang

benttreegallery — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 22:23:25 +0000

Today was our bi-monthly gallery rehang. At this time, our members move their work from one area to another creating new arrangements in the gallery. At this time, members often bring in new work. So today we are focusing on a new work in the gallery.

At left is Martha Gibson’s Mixed Media piece entitled “Artists and their work Series: Martha.”

We invite you to come by the gallery to see the new look!
