Converge, Where Classical and Contemporary Art Collide

If you were in NYC recently I hope you had a chance to visit 25CPW Gallery near Columbus Circle, to see the show 'Converge' (Nov 15 -27). This is one of the best group shows I've seen this year, a wonderful collection "featuring 31 internationally recognized professional painters who are effectively melding the best of the classical and contemporary art wolds."  Below are photos of some of my favorite pieces.  You can see all of them here: http://www.convergeartnyc.com/.  The exhibition is curated by Allison Malafronte, senior editor for the American Artist's Magazine.  Thanks Allison for a fantastic show!
