Artist Bradley Gordon featured at Billy Reid

Billy Reid's flagship design store in Florence, Alabama featured talented artist Bradley Gordon and his paintings in an evening showcase. Gordon's stunning work depicts animals which were an inspiration while he was growing up and living in Mississippi. The paintings have just the right amount of color and form while the reclaimed wooden frames give them a rustic touch. Here are some of the highlights from the show, and you can find more on Bradley's website, The Gordon Gallery.
