Exhibit alert! Make time to see Brian McClear‘s show at the gallery at Tunxis in Farmington! The gallery looks absolutely perfect with his work on the walls. He told me that he made 14 new paintings for this show and it’s really a treat to see so many of this series all together.
Another series of his are portraits so if you ever get the chance to see them, go do it! In fact, follow him so you know where he’ll be showing. Also follow him because he’s great. (Generous, hard working and genuinely nice)
And… his insta account had more than 15k followers and got stolen from him last year and he’s started again from zero. So support him

The pictures are from Thursday evening with such beautiful light that I couldn’t resist inserting myself into the video too!
