Braldt Sighting!
posted:
I just got this in: Braldt Bralds @ Meyer East Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
When I moved to New Mexico in the mid-nineties, there was one guy who was a touchstone to the industry for me and that was Braldt. [Dutch]. He and I had done a similar "escape" to the desert. He lives just outside Santa Fe with his wife Margaret and man, he knows everybody [he's Mr. Santa Fe]! Braldt is a great guy and has more industry stories and of such high caliber that it makes your head spin. Not as active in the industry as he used to be, Braldt continues painting away and showing here and there. Talk about "tight"! Christ! This guy makes Hans Memling look loose! It must be the weather?!
Note: The Carol of "Carol's Apples" is fellow Santa Fean Carol Anthony-her painting of an apple is on the wall behind the bowl of fruit.
I thought some of you might enjoy...
