Opening this First Friday for the month of June “Figures and Durango Street Scenes” by John Grow.

If you’re not familiar with painter John Grow, you certainly are with his subject matter.

Grow has spent his career mastering his painting technique to the highest degree and has used our beloved town as his muse along the way. His work depicts our town with realism and detail unmatched by any artist and it is truly special for us to share his work with you all.

Alongside his Street scenes, Grow is displaying his studies and practice of figure drawing. This gives the viewer more insight into how drawing forms the foundation for his final painted masterworks. If you can master figure drawing, you can master practically anything and it shows in John’s beautifully detailed works.
