Gordon Fowler: Impressions of the Annandale- A Texas Ranch for All Time

January 10 - 31, 2015

Take a virtual tour of the show here.

On Saturday, January 10^th, the Wally Workman Gallery will open their 13th show with Austin painter Gordon Fowler. Fowler has long been respected for his impressionist landscapes of Texas and Mexico. For this show, he painted on the Annandale Ranch, a Texas Century Ranch in the Frio River Valley. A Texas Century Ranch is one that has been operated continuously by the same family for more than 100 years. The owners have placed a conservation easement on the entire ranch - which includes more than 11,000 acres and 5 miles along the Frio River - to preserve the natural beauty of the ranch for future generations. In honor of this commitment, Fowler has spent the last two years capturing what motivated the family and The Hill Country Conservancy to make preservation a priority and will donate a portion of sales during the Preview Evening on January 8th to The Conservancy for future efforts.

Established in 1980 and located in a 100 year old historic house in Austin’s art district, the Wally Workman Gallery specializes in emerging and collected talent. The gallery has two stories of exhibition space where one can view the 56 artists currently represented, including the contemporary talents of Will Klemm, Joyce Howell, and Ian Shults as well as the figurative work of Tracey Harris and Fatima Ronquillo.

The Wally Workman Gallery is proud to be involved with Aether Magazine and Art Austin, promoting the visual arts in Austin. Read in depth accounts of our local creative scene at www.aetherart.com and discover the many galleries that are a part of it at www.artaustin.org.
