Greetings! 
William Dubin has done it again. He's painted the trolley, in the trolley barn on 8th Street. We've seen this before, right? Well, not at all, actually.
Similar to many of the paintings created late in this body of work, Twilight Trolley Barn is a rendition of the effects of light in an urban setting. We see the moment that the street lights are coming on, as the sun's influence has nearly disappeared. Though outside of this painting's frame, we are certain that if we looked to the right, we'd see the sun just peeking above the mountains to the west.
Yet, this is no academic study of the effects of light, created only for the artist's reference. Instead, it is a fully realized painting of a scene with which, Tucsonan or not, the viewer can feel very familiar, and even comfortable. We walk down the street in the waning light, a hard day's work behind us. We glance to the left and see the vintage trolley, also cooling off from a day of hard work.
Speaking of hard work - the final selections for the exhibit have been made, and we've begun hanging the show. We hope you join us March 12 to enjoy the fruit of one artist's tremendous labor.
