McLarry Fine Art Gallery on Canyon Road had a reception Friday (2/10/12) night for artist Richard Sandoval and his collection of paintings and sculptures. He has been painting New Mexico landscapes for most of his 70 years, concentrating on northern New Mexico. In addition to the work in the exhibit, Mr. Sandoval has illustrated books, exhibited at Spanish Market, written books, and has been involved artistically with New Mexico Magazine for many years. The gallery was packed with lifelong fans and newcomers to his art as well. He obligingly posed for this photo as others were snapping away as well.
Now that's a familiar name. What fun you must have had. And he appears to be a very nice man.
ReplyDeleteWonderful portrait.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to meet artists and interesting types like this fellow! Hope you're having fun in Santa Fe, Great Kate!
ReplyDeleteA nice series of portraits you have this week. Looks like there are plenty of friendly folks in N Mex. :)
ReplyDeleteNumber 67, and another gem!
ReplyDeleteHow great to get to meet these talented artists! Santa Fe is such an extraordinary place.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your hinted at post for tomorrow.
Well done Kate, you got a great picture of him.
ReplyDeleteNice Kate. I've seen his name on the magazine before but not his artwork.
ReplyDeleteYou've captured him well...
ReplyDeleteYou're really making progress on your portraits, even finding rather famous people. Good for you!
