New art is landing in the gallery all the time!
This lovely painting of
Geese at Sullivan's Pond by Matthew Mongraw flew in last week and we've
been loving it's sweet serene energy... but it wasn't all sweet
sereneness getting it here! Read below what artist Matthew had to say
about his adventures snapping pics of the geese in the name of art!

"I was inspired to paint these geese one day while walking by Sullivan's Pond. It was late afternoon and I noticed how the sun was glowing through the gees' feathers, so I stopped to take some reference photos. I obviously got carried away following them around onto land and got too close. One of them was fed up and after staring me down for a moment started charging at me. Luckily I was smart enough to leave before getting attacked, but only after I stayed just long enough to get a close up shot of the attempt!"
