Manley Art Center debuted their remodeled gallery at the March Art Walk.
In addition to a new paint job and lighting, the previously open office space at the far end of the gallery is now enclosed (see shaded oval area in photo). The wall space for hanging art is increased by the new walls.
During Art Walk Pete Chasar interviewed pastel artists Linda Evans and Les Cornish at Manley Art Center.
Linda Evans likes to paint plein air - completing or nearly completing all of her paintings on location.
Les Cornish prefers to visit a location, take photographs and notes and complete his paintings indoors.
