I recently attended a reception at the Roz Steiner Gallery at GCC – 

an exhibit by Tom Mac Pherson entitled Documente: The Italian American Family Album 

Tom's painting is extremely colorful and visually outstanding.  

In keeping with traditional style, he explained his use of "egg tempera" paint.  It is simply 

(but not easily, in my opinion) made from a mixture of artist quality finely ground dry pigments, egg yolk and water.

This interactive exhibit also included stories about many (literally) 'colorful' characters wound in his interesting family history

in mid-twentieth century America.

Until this day, I hadn't been to a gallery opening since college (a very long time ago). 
We spent a lot of time at  Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center back in the day, when I was cool!  Believe it or not, this fantastic, diverse space is still open and loaded with creativity.
