Personal note by KLH: I was visiting Legacy Gallery when I noticed Jane's paintings at the Legacy for the first time. They are beautiful in person (It's always wonderful to see John Meister's paintings at the Legacy, also).

From Jane Hunt:

Excited to share what's happening - new representation, a special event at the Denver Art Museum, and more shows coming up very soon!

I've joined Legacy Gallery!

I'm pleased to share that I'm now represented by Legacy Gallery in both Santa Fe, NM and Scottsdale, AZ. I dropped off my first six paintings in Santa Fe last week and had the chance to meet their wonderful team. More work will be heading to the Scottsdale gallery soon! Meanwhile, if you're in the Santa Fe area, please stop by and check out these new pieces in person. This is a sneak peek at a few of the new paintings now at Legacy - more are waiting for you on the Legacy Gallery website 'Into the West' 48x36" Oil

'First Light on the Pueblo' 12x20" Oil

'Evening Sunflowers' 30x24" Oil
