Mark Gamett Buys Roland Lee Painting

 One of my dear friends, and an amazing painter dropped by my studio with his wife and purchase a few of my original paintings recently. He also decided to buy the painting "As I See It" which was my demonstration painting for the 2021 Utah Plein Air presentation. I am so thankful for such good friends as Mark.

Display Ladder for Native American Rugs

I am grateful to my friend Lee Wright who hand-built this ladder to display my Native American blankets and rugs. He surprised me with this nice gift, which now graces the walls of my studio in downtown St. George, Utah.

Painting Sells at Sears Invitational Exhibit

 The 34th annual Sears Dixie Invitational Art Show is going on now with hundreds of art pieces on display. I am happy that both of the paintings I have on display won ribbons, and my painting, "Creekside Stillness" was sold on opening night to one of my good collectors Betsy McChesney.

First Place Award at Utah Watercolor Society Small Paintings Show

"On Its Last Leg" 4 x 6 watercolor by Roland Lee

I was honored to receive First Place at the Utah Watercolor Society Small Paintings Show for my little painting of a rustic Utah Barn. Called "On Its Last Leg" the old barn has seen both good days and bad days but is still standing. That's pretty much the way I feel. Also exhibited was "Palm Shadow" Seville Spain.
