PAUL REIF
will be the opening exhibition for The Glen
Helen Organization, in February 2010. This year they
are redoing the entire atrium with new wall surfaces
and lighting. It made my day to know I would be
first to show in the new area. I'm going to need at
least 14 new large landscapes for this show.
Paul completed a show at "the Winds" in February and sold two
large paintings. The Winds was so happy his work
that they've ask him back again next year which will
require at least 18 new paintings.
Says Paul, "I took two new yellow tulip paintings to the
gallery last week. While there a doctor came in who
had bought one of my large flower paintings. She
wants the gallery owner and myself to come to her
home when the weather breaks to look at the rooms
and suggest what she needs in art work. After that,
get busy and paint. Looks like my next two years
will be busy. Congrats Paul!"
