The saying goes that if you "want to make a million dollars in the art market, then start with five."
Later tonight I'll be going to the grand opening of Light Street Gallery in Baltimore, which is being opened by my good friends Steve and Linda Krensky.
The Krenskys have (by far) the largest private art collection that I have ever seen in anyone's home in all my life. In fact, the Krensky house is so full of original artwork by DC area artists and artists from all over the world, so that nearly every inch of their ceilings are also covered in paintings, as they've long ago ran out of wall space!
Light Street Gallery will be a great addition to Baltimore's cultural tapestry and to our region. The gallery is located at 1448 Light Street in Baltimore, and can be reached at 410/254-0047 or on the web at www.lightstreetgallery.com.
The love of art by collectors often leads to them opening art galleries, such as Cheryl Numark and Numark Gallery, and now the Krenskys with Light Street Gallery. This is all good news to our art scene.

Starting today, I will try to highlight one DC area artist every few days or so, and discuss his or her work, and tell you why I like or dislike their work, and put up an image of their work (and maybe of them if I can find one or get one) here.
Check later today for my first pick to start the roll call of the Washington area's visual artists that have made an impression on me and why.
