It's a Feature! 
 
20-Brix, Milford by Bobbi ThiesWe now have a desginated 'feature wall' here at Row House. We'll regularly rotate a theme- or artist-oriented exhibit on the feature wall, so something new will always be popping up. Currently, we're showing works by local artist, Bobbi Thies, like this juicy painting of 20-Brix in Milford. Bobbi has painted several Milford scenes on that are currently on display including Bishop's Bicycles, the Shoe Repair, and Milford Cleaners. Check out more of Bobbi's art works here.
The Artists are Coming!
Saturday, August 7
 
OPASPlein Air painters from around the tri-state will descend upon Milford for the second annual all day Milford Paint Out. Plein Air means to paint in the open air in natural light. This art form became a very important part of the Impressionist Movement and to artists such as Van Gogh and Monet.
 
The event is free and the public is invited to attend, to watch, and participate in this outdoor painting adventure.
 
9 am - 3 pm - See artists at work as they set up their easels along the picturesque streets of the historic town, South and East Milford and along the little Miami River.
 
3:30 - 5 pm - Art works created during the Paint Out will be available for purchase during the Wet Paint Sale.
 
Afterwards, selected works will be available here at the gallery for a period of time. It's a great event...don't miss this special day!
NEW from Greenwich Workshop
Benediction by James Christensen

Benediction by James Christensen

The words coming out of this angel's mouth are purposely provocative and designed to make you wonder, "What does that mean?" It's Latin, beatus est pisciculus, meaning "Blessed is the little fish." Floating fish symbolize the magic all around us and they are blessed little things themselves, to bring this magic into our lives. Is the angel blessing the fish or the fish blessing the angel? The fish is a symbol Christensen frequently uses and this painting was meant as my "thank-you" for a lot of the magic in his life.

Christensen's original painting is 36x48 inches. The Greenwich Workshop Anniversary edition is released in two sizes, a very limited quantity at a major-statement size of 40 x 30, and also at 24 x 18 inches. The blessing of Benediction works beautifully at either size.
