Michael Gregory – Paintings (California)
Michael Gregory’s “American Landscape” paintings radiate a contemporary old master look. Painted in many layers of oil on panel, his barns, silos, stucco structures, and praise houses (one-room churches) are quiet of palette, limited to white, black, gray with a mere suggestion of warmth, and always with a dramatic sky, charged with mystery.
