there were lots of interested on-lookers all with questions and admiration for the work. The questions from the visitors varied – they ran from “how do you do that?” to discussing what type of finish or patina Richard will use. A big thank you to Richard Danskin Galleries for the opportunity to participate in the Art Walk!
