"His career spans many decades, and the hallmark of a true master is the test of time," says Beth Lauterbach, owner of Scottsdale Fine Art, which hosts a solo show of Kelley’s work January 9-23. Meet the artist at a reception on Thursday, January 15, from 6 to 9 p.m. |

Vintage Dreams New works by Ted Polomis and Robert LaDuke are on view at Leslie Levy Fine Art this month in a show titled Dreams and Observations. Rendered in a style reminiscent of 1940s, LaDuke's narrative paintings play on dreams and memories to evoke a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. Polomis paints highly realistic still lifes, particularly of antique toys from the 1920s and '30s-works he calls "reactions to the present world of plastic and cellophane." The show goes up January 22 and remains on view through February 10. |
