Where Did the Buyers Go

We are home, but our clients are on vacation.

Sounds familiar? We at TRA feel your pain. While summer looms, and customers wait, TRA's artists keep working, and our gallery keeps growing. We are suffering from Sample Sale hangover. The clients are gone and the inventory lingers. Our twice annual Michigan Design Center Sample Sale brought some decent sales, but now we wait for fall to come. Michigan in the summer time is definitely a taxing time for those in the art and framing business. Most galleries close up shop and wait for the fall gallery opening season to begin. We however are plugging along. An old Robert Crumb bit sums up my attitude to the summer sales slow-down.Our artists are hard at work scraping, mixing, moulding, drying, patching, and caring for new and exciting artworks.

Nancy Dendy has a number of new landscapes, with sizes that fit anything from conference room to powder room.

Here are some new ones by Mary Rousseaux. The red one has her high gloss resin finish. The blue grey one is a waxy matte finish.

Todd Richter, our resident steel artist from Ann Arbor, is always working on his continuing series of steel drawings. He cuts into a steel plate and creates a unique design with each piece. They are engineered to hang on a wall like a painting.

Here's a new oil from artist Matthew Sarnette. He saved no expense for paint on this one.

Stop in and check out all of our inventory. We have lots of great deals sitting around after Sample Sale.

Stay tuned for more new art from TRA Art Group. Hope you enjoyed the blog.

Keep on truckin'.
