Michael Gibbons at the 50th Tubac Festival of the Arts February 4 - 8, 2009

Paintings of Tumacacori Mission National Park by Michael Gibbons will be the featured subject of his work at the Tubac Art Exchange, 2243 East Frontage Road, Tubac, Arizona (next building located south of the Gas Station near the Clinic).
Michael has often worked on the grounds of the Mission with resulting paintings in oil portraying the very essence of the old Southwest settlers area. His painting entitled “VIEW BEHIND THE MISSION”, oil, 15”x 21”, was chosen by a nationally recognized jury panel to be included in the 2007 Paint the Parks Top 100 and that painting has just returned from a year tour around the USA. Along with the original, Michael will have Giclee reproductions of this image on White Archival Enhanced Matte Stock available. Michael and his wife Judith maintained a winter studio/gallery and residence in Tubac from 1997 until mid-2006 when they returned to Oregon’s familial and creative roots. He has returned each year since, to the Tubac area to paint and is delighted to participate in the 50th Anniversary of the Tubac Festival of the Arts at the Tubac Art Exchange. Michael will check in each day of the Festival at the gallery and he plans on spending all day Saturday greeting friends and showing his work.
