Historic Vero - Art Gallery Opening

Ron & Christine Hughes from Dale Sorensen Real Estate held an Art Gallery Opening at Gallery RVS located in historic downtown Vero Beach. It was a fabulous evening that kicked off at 6pm on Friday 30th January. The night was full of happy, lively people mixing & chatting, admiring & describing the art work from Ronnie Van Sweringen. The wine & hors d'oeuvres were flowing & tasted absolutely divine, catered by Undertow restaurant. The ambience was set by a beautiful, soft voice from Rebecca who sung a mixture of songs from the Beatles to Rod Stewart to her own ballards. At 8.30 pm there was a door prize that the artist was giving away..who was going to win this amazing, striking piece of art..."Hope Brovont is the winner", good for Hope but I was positive that I was feeling lucky that night & I am sure everyone in that room thought the same too. Whilst walking round & taking in all what was going all, I could see a sea of smiles, I could hear roars of laughters & feel a sense of happiness. It was a wonderfully, successful opening & the artist & Ron & Christine were delighted that everyone had a really enjoyable time.

About the Artist:

Ron Van Sweringen born in Hampton, Virginia in 1936, describes himself as a "slightly eccentric" self-taught artist. Over the past 35 years, Mr. Van Sweringen has translated his lifelong fascination with art of all kinds into oil paintings ranging from early primitive and impressionist to classic landscape, still life, and beach scenes with and without people. Most recently, this talented artist is driven by abstract themes and styles that defy categories. He describes this flurry as an "obsession - it rules you!" All his paintings reflect the sense of proportion, style, color and beauty in the world he sees around him and is compelled to share on canvas.

Mr. Van Sweringen's paintings have hung in collections shown in The Reagan White House, the Corcoran Museum of Modern Art Biennial Exhibition, with members of the Royal Family as well as in private collections. He has been recognized in The 2005 Artists Bluebook: 34,000 North American Artists to March 2005, by Lonnie Pierson Dunbier, Davenport's Art Reference: The Gold Edition by Ray Davenport, other art publications, and online at AskART.com and various art information sites.
