Rae Turnbull noted artist and author, discusses her visit to .and involvement with, the recent opening for artist Keith Christie at The Orland Art Gallery on April 3rd 2015:
"The reception for Keith Christie's exhibit was a great success! The Gallery was filled with people from the time the Gallery opened at three until the doors closed at 7. The West did indeed come alive in the brilliant paintings on the walls and 13 pedestals perfectly showcased the finely detailed bronzes.
Enjoying it all was the artist Christie himself, now in his eightieth year, wearing his signature western hat, and visiting with admirers.His recent stroke made the evening tiring for him, but as he left, he thanked the Gallery Director for doing such splendid justice to his work. Her reply: It was an honor!
