Richard Thomas, Sculptor was welcomed by Richard Danskin Galleries at the El Paseo Art Walk
On Thursday, March 3, 2011, the owners of Richard Danskin Galleries, Val and Geoff Douglas warmly welcomed Richard Thomas, Sculptor, and his wife, Sheri Ziebell at the El Paseo Art Walk, in Palm Desert, California. It was certainly a successful evening as over 250 people visited the gallery within a couple of hours. Richard Thomas displayed one of his works in progress which is a sculpture within a frame, usually called a bas (pronounced bah…like a sheep!) relief. As Richard introduced himself to the visitors,

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!
