Underpainting for Self Portrait, D. Jeffrey Mims
Maestros opens on Friday November 7th with a reception from 5:30 to 8:30 pm at Ann Long Fine Art Gallery in Charleston, SC. The show’s title honors four master painters who have been teaching classical painting techniques for over thirty years. Charles Cecil (Charles H. Cecil Studios, Florence), Daniel Graves (The Florence Academy of Art, Florence), Ben Long (The Fine Art’s League of Asheville), and Jeffrey Mims (Mims Studios, Southern Pines) have been passing on their painting craft in the atelier tradition to generations of young classical painters. While these four Maestros have similar training and their careers have crossed over the years, never before have they exhibited together as a group. Don’t miss this unprecedented event! Exhibition closes December 1, 2008.
Had a great time at the show. Such a disappointment to not see Jeffrey. The work was amazing, as usual. S.
