New Work by Walt Hall and Paul Torres at Cactus Gallery in Eagle Rock

show runs August 9th through September 13th

August is a very busy month for many folks and no doubt many of you were unable to attend the opening of the exhibition and have not found yourselves killing time on the eastside of los angeles lately. If you missed the opening and are unable to stop in to see the work.....

we wish you were here....

For whatever reason you found yourself unable to attend we are proud to present the exhibit to you in its entirety for your enjoyment in the comfort of your own home, office, car, ice fishing shack, or where ever it is that you are presently. Due to the confines of two dimensions we feel strongly that the work is best viewed in person. However, this is the next best thing. While viewing the following post, please bear in mind that we are painters and not photographers. Finally, while the show has sold very well, there is some great work as yet available. Please contact the gallery for availability and purchasing information.
