Below are some images from the
A Fine Arrangement exhibition currently on view at PAFA. Curated by Jan Baltzell and Michael Gallagher, it is a large show with a great variety of paintings in scale, time period, style and imagery, highlighting the versatility of the genre. I keep going back to the show and finding new things. It's been a really engaging show for me and I love that it is up for a few months (opened in October, ends April 12th)
There is a free, public opening on Tuesday, January 27th from 4:30 - 6:30 and a panel discussion Wednesday March 4th from 5:30 - 7:30.

These installation shots show how big the gallery is with a lot of work to digest. I probably only posted a quarter of the work, if that. It continues into the stairwell gallery and back gallery as well.
As a still life painter I always feel like there are not enough shows of good, radical still life paintings to sink my teeth into. This is a really satisfying experience and worth a visit and a return visit for sure.

Thanks for sharing that wonderful exhibition. Must be a great privilege to see works of such calibre. I love that you keep going back. It takes a while to know a painting.
What a Great Exhibition! My Father-in-law, Humbert Howard, would have been very pleased and proud to be a part.
Thanks Sandy! That's very cool Karla, he was a great painter.
