More photos of the interior

Here are more shots of the gallery interior. That spot in the back right of this photo is for a featured artist. Isn't it great?

We're all brainstorming about layout and such in this photo.

The lighting in the gallery is wonderful, too. We'll be able to spotlight paintings beautifully. A dream location.

Three out of five of us looking up something pertinent on our smart phones.

And right now it's bare - but it'll be filling up this week. What fun to see "before and after" photographs of the space.

Anchor Artist :: Francis X. Quinn

Frank began painting 25 years ago, when his wife JoAnn gave him a painting set for Christmas. Since then he has studied under three outstanding teachers: Barbara McAuliffe, Susan Kelley and Kim Morin Weineck. He paints exclusively in oils and prefers painting portraits and cityscapes.

Although a resident of Walpole, he has long been active in the Foxboro Art Association and for the past year and a half has worked with BJ Bjork to help produce the Foxboro Cable Access television show “Let’s Paint the Town with BJ Bjork.” He is a signature member of the Neponset Valley Artists.

Anchor Artist :: Ann Gorbett

Ann Gorbett paints exclusively with a palette knife to create her oil paintings because she loves the thick, painterly strokes of color she can create with it. Her work ranges in subject matter from city scenes to florals to figurative paintings based on nostalgic family photographs. 

Ann is a Walpole resident, a member of the Foxboro Art Association, a signature member of the Neponset Valley Artists. She holds a fine art degree from Miami University of Ohio and has worked as a professional graphic designer in Boston for many years.

She began painting in oil again after taking a palette knife workshop and was immediately hooked. In addition to the Art Gallery at Patriot Place, her work is currently represented by The Red Inn in Provincetown and Custom Art Framing in Norwood. 

Ann loves to do commission work so if you have a favorite pet, family photo, or special place you'd like her to paint, send her an email.
