For years Repartee has brought Scott to Utah for shows. His art is creative, playful and the artist himself is delightful.


His sense of humor is quite evident in his small works painting of the Fox guarding the Hen house. You can see by the expression of the hens that they don't feel safe!!

Home of Liz Lemon Swindle

I'm not sure how many of you know this, but Repartee Gallery is the home gallery for artist Liz Lemon Swindle. Pictured here is one of Liz's newest paintings. It is such a peaceful picture.

All of Liz's paintings are available through the Repartee Galleries.

One of my biggest goals for the Bountiful gallery is to promote Utah Artists. I have been told that Utah has more well know artists per capita than any other state. We have such good art programs at our colleges and universities.

We can be reached at 801-296-0718 if you have any questions or are trying to locate a specific piece of art.

There is a saying which I may have mentioned before..."if walls could talk"...I believe they do talk. What you hang in your home reflects your values. It brings a certain feeling to your home, creates the mood and atmosphere.

It is our hope to help you deliberately set the tone and mood of your home. Let the wonderful artists of Utah help also. If you are interested in the picture above you can click on the following link:

Next ART SHOW- Scott Gustafson

Friday night Dec. 3rd our friend, SCOTT GUSTAFSON will be in the gallery from 6pm- 8pm. He will actually be visiting Bountiful High School in the afternoon to visit with the ART Department and students.

Last year Scott came and visited another High School in the area and taught an art class. We are always pleased with his willingness to share his talent and experience with new and upcoming artists.


This is one of Scott's recognized paintings titled "Santa in his Study". The amount of detail in his paintings is wonderful.

Santa sure has a lot going on in his study!









This is one of his newer releases "Woodland Santa". I feel chilly just looking at this picture. Here in Utah we will soon be experiencing some snow just like this and maybe even deeper!

If you need any more information on the show or want to order his art, you can reach us at 801-296-0718.

Paul Cezanne study in ART CLASS

Today, being Veterans Day was a quiet day in Art Class. Our two students started their study of Paul Cezanne which will take a least two lessons to finish.

We are doing an impressionistic study of shape, and the students chose to paint Tea Sets.

It is really fun to see these pictures evolve as they do a sketch then block their colors and use concepts they learned in previous classes. We have just a few classes left before we take a break for the Christmas season.

Each of the students have progressed quite a bit this year. Painting is so relaxing and it is fun to see everyone enjoy their creations.

Cassandra Barney This Saturday !!!

Yes it's true, Cassandra Barney will be here this Saturday with her new Ex Voto collection. If you pre-order with us, you will be invited to have your art canvas embellished. That means Cassandra will personally add a touch or two of paint to your canvas so it is unique. Pre-order deadline is Tuesday at 8pm... You can call us at 801-296-0718 to place an order.

If you aren't able to make up your mind, or are interested in an original, you are welcome from 6pm to 8pm on Saturday the 13th. We hope to see you there.

ART CLASS TODAY

Today in Art Class we were studying shadow and
light. We are replicating Rene Magritte's "Son of Man".

For those of you not familiar with that by name, it is the famous picture of a man with an apple in front of his face.

Today's assignment was to choose a piece of fruit, most choices were apples, pumpkins and cherries. Pastels were the medium and everyone in the class now has very colorful hands...pastel does wash off. After the class was finished their pictures looked very very pretty. They are becoming quite good at these different challenges and assignments.

ARTIST CASSANDRA BARNERY

Cassandra Barney has just released these fine art small works called Ex Votos, which means little expressions of gratitude. As explained by her publisher, Greenwich Workshop," Today Ex Vetos are most widely known as the folk art works created on tin and found in shrines across Mexico"

This first one is "Bounties of the Earth", for all of the gardeners who know the joy of a successful garden.

"These little artworks are painted out of gratitude for the miracles, protection and prayers answered not only in my life, but for many of us" says the artist.

The second one is titled "Dance" and the third one is called "To Never Ending Love". I find this last one particularly suitable for Wedding gifts.




We have them on display and available in our gallery. Cassandra will be at the Bountiful Gallery on Saturday November 13th from 6pm to 8pm. If you would like any additional information, please call the gallery at 801-296-0718.

We hope you will come and meet Cassandra.
