We were so excited to give painter, Larry Frank, his Long Island gallery debut... Thanks to all who came out to support Ripe Art!

Our "Larry Frank" window. Larry Frank is a NYC based portrait painter. We love his work beacuse of his "watercolor-y" effect, and his use of color. A grouping of Larry's self portraits. Cherie, with artist Larry Frank. A rare still life, and some of Larry's favorite needlepoint work. Larry always paints from live models. A portrait of Richard with the Mao sculpture pictured in the painting. Larry only paints with oil. A view of the gallery during the reception. Larry with a few of his fans. We had a great time! Larry holding court... Our loyal assistant Stephen, and a few friends. Larry with Richard... Artist Coleen Ryan with Larry. Artist Russ Poore with Ripe Art supporter MaryAnne and Larry. Richard with his Mao posing in front of his portrait. Close up of some of Larry's needlepoints. The one on the left is actually a petitepoint. We made this sign to avoid anything bad happening.
