Mountainsong Galleries Announces Art Exhibition with Local Students Who Participated in a Workshop by Master Artist Albert Handell Saturday, July 5 5:30pm
(TRAVPR.COM) USA - June 24th, 2014 - Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA, June 21, 2014 - Mountainsong Galleries on Ocean Avenue in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California is the place to find more of today's OPA and AIS Master Artists than anywhere in the World. The gallery owners Jonathan and Lucinda Mountainsong have created a friendly, fun upbeat setting filled with contemporary Master Artists. Mountainsong represents some of the greatest artists of our time from coast-to-coast.
Mountainsong Galleries recently hosted a solo exhibition for Master Artist Albert Handell. Handell is a credentialed Master Artist in both the Oil Painters of America and the American Impressionist Society. Handell is the poster child for overcoming adversity. As a child he was sickly and his Mother would not permit him to go outside to play. He was restricted to the sidewalk outside his home with a box of chalk. From this childhood he emerged as one of the greatest pastelists of our time, having been nominated to the Pastel Hall of Fame over three decades ago.
Most recently, Handell was awarded the Bronze Medal in the Masters Category at the 2013 OPA National Exhibition for his oil painting, L’Abre, which currently hangs at Mountainsong Galleries. His works have hung in museums from coast-to-coast including the prestigious Butler Institute of American Art.
Handell hosted a workshop this past May with several local Monterey County residents who are inspiring artists. On Saturday, July 5th at 5:30 p.m.
workshop participants will have their paintings on display at the prestigious Mountainsong Galleries which only hangs works by OPA and AIS Masters.
