About The Susan Kathleen Black Foundation - The Foundation, created for the advancement of art education, was initially established in 2001 as a memorial fund by James E. Parkman in honor of his wife, Susan Kathleen Black, who died unexpectedly just before Christmas 2000 after a lengthy illness.
Susan Kathleen was a devoted artist and student who took every opportunity to learn from master artists and skilled experts to develop her own talent. Her favorite workshops were at the Beartooth School of Wildlife Art in Big Timber, Montana, where she studied with many nationally known wildlife artists.
Since its creation, the memorial fund has awarded grants for art education to elementary schools in Texas and New Mexico; teen workshops in Montana and conferences for the development of professional artists in Divide, Colorado and Dubois, Wyoming. In addition, one full college art scholarship has been awarded.
In early 2003 the memorial fund was granted 501 (c )(3) status and became the Susan Kathleen Black Foundation, Inc. Its mission is to continue to fund art education for a broad range of art programs throughout the nation, while giving artists of all ages the opportunity to develop their skills and achieve their goals as artists.

Henry Asencio One-Man Show
Bill Mack and the Twins
Although Bill Mack typically does gallery work, Bill's relationship with the Pohlad family, (owners of the Minnesota Twins), inevitably lead him to once again add another group of sports figures to his already impressive resume of Sports Hall of Famers. Kirby Puckett, Harmon Killebrew, and Rod Carew are just a few of many Sports figures created By Bill Mack. Bill Mack has also created works from Peggy Fleming, Casey Tibbs, U.S. Hockey Hall of Famer Hobey Baker, Tennis legend Arthur Ashe, and many more.
A statue of Calvin Griffith, the first owner of the Minnesota Twins was unveiled on September 3rd outside the Target Field. The ceremony was joined by Twins fans as well as baseball legends, Harmon Killebrew, Rod Carew and the Griffith family. Bill is not finished as the Twins and the Pohlad family have also commissioned Bill to install a similar bronze statue of Carl and Eloise Pohlad later this Fall. A location for the unveiling has not yet been determined.

A Brief History of the Salmagundi Club
Following a tradition of 137 years, the Salmagundi Club continues to serve as a center for fine arts. Originally formed as the Salmagundi Sketch Club in 1871, the Club adopted its present name a hundred years ago after Washington Irving published his potpourri of wit and wisdom called "The Salmagundi Papers". Through the years the Club has been the singular gathering place for such great artists as Childe Hassam, William Merrit Chase, Howard Pyle, N.C. Wyeth, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Ogden Pleisner and many others. Honorary members have included such luminaries as Sir Winston Churchill, Buckminister Fuller, Paul Cadmus, Al Hirschfeld, Thomas Hoving and Schuyler Chapin.

Hanging the Gallery for the Royo Blancos Show



Friday, July 16, 2010
Updates!!!!!!
July 31th 2010
Please join us as we unveil the new collection “Blancos” from the artist Royo.
Royo - Blancos
July 31, 2010 (Sat.)
On July 31, 2010, Brilliance In Color Gallery will open "Blancos" (Whites), an exhibition of paintings by contemporary Spanish figurative painter, Royo. This exhibition comprises 35 new oil paintings on canvas together with a selection of drawings, bronze sculptures and serigraphs. Royo has passionately and wholeheartedly dedicated the last 30 years of his career to the same subject matter: the female form. He is inspired by many historical periods from the Old Masters, such as Velazquez and Goya, to the 19th-century Impressionists, such as Sorolla. This new collection of paintings combines formal elements with a subtlety of the contemporary master’s eye. In this collection of Royo's paintings, subjects are depicted by a vast range of different whites, applied with a broken-color technique used to create a dramatic light across the painting. The “whites are composed of a thousand whites”, as Royo notes.

Please join us!
Thomas Arvid Personal Appearance
August 27 - August 28, 2010 (Fri. & Sat.)
Thomas Arvid has taken the art world by storm, with his larger than life, visually seductive, photorealistic paintings of wine, corks, bottles, bottle openers and stem ware. Arvid has achieved incredible success and national acclaim with his still life compositions of wine and the rituals that surround it. He has a talent for portraying light and color, uniting an eye for photo-realism with a genuine talent for abstract composition.
Arvid aficionados instinctively know why they are attracted to his unique style of photo realism and its larger-than-life composition. A quiet drama and pure elegance radiate from the canvas and speaks volumes about the wine. Arvid’s ability to portray texture, light, and mood are only exceeded by his innate understanding of what people love in their homes.

Collectors Offer has been Extended!

I just wanted to share this wonderful opportunity with you. I've attached a link to our Retired Inventory Offer. Please take a moment to browse through art work listed on the site, because I know you'll be amazed at the quality of the art and the unbelievable prices it is being offered at. These are artists (well known artists) we had represented in the past but because of business decisions being made and limited wall space in our galleries we are able to offer these stunning works of art to you for less than any other gallery. Please give us a call if you have any questions or are wanting to acquire any of this artwork. Remember that this is a "First Come, First Serve" opportunity.
