A-Wash in Color, Dorethey Gorham
Dorethey Gorham is a gallery favorite at Rocky’s Place, thanks to her detailed memory paintings. Her finesse with a paintbrush, even the smallest, is phenomenal.

One would think that Dorethey has been painting, and perfecting her …
A Bit of a Cut-up at Smitten of Highlands
When Phil Herzog hand-carves the likeness of a bear, cardinal, or woodland beast into a native-wood walking stick or cane, some of his spirit (and maybe a bit of his mischief) are transferred into that animal.
