"Paintings to Amuse and Amaze": Edge Gallery July 11 - Aug 2

"I think of my artwork as a theatrical production, in which the viewer is allowed to temporarily suspend disbelief. For the viewer, my artwork becomes a momentary distraction --- a gift of enchantment, amusement, delight, and emotional connection."

The Edge Gallery is excited to display a wide selection of landscape and abstract acrylic paintings by Richard Mittelstadt.

The committee operating this little gem in Bigfork invites you to take the scenic drive north on Hwy. 38 and consider freshening up your home or business with some new artwork.

This show will be an eye-popping exhibit of color, movement and whimsy, together with serene depictions of the outdoors.

The artist has generously offered to raffle a watercolor and a photograph, proceeds to the Edge.

In addition, a discount will be made for any purchase of his acrylic paintings, together with a complimentary watercolor print.

Mr. Mittelstadt holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education and a Masters Degree in Studio Art. His acrylic paintings have been accepted into many juried group exhibitions, garnering numerous awards. He taught middle and high school art for 38 years before retiring to devote more time to painting, camping and working for various non-profits. Richard has an impressive history of gallery exhibitions and is eager to add The Edge to this history. He very much looks forward to interacting with as many of the public as can fit in the gallery on Artist Reception Night, Friday,July 12th, from 5 to 7 pm. If you are unable to make it that night, please stop by to view his artwork (and buy a raffle ticket!) the previous day or any subsequent Thurs., Fri., or Sat. from 1 to 4 pm!
