“It can’t look like you’ve worked hard and long, even if you have. A painting should be done quickly with both your intellect and your nerves. When they give out, stop.” -Charles Movalli
The All Movalli show is in the works.

Hi, I was happy to see Charles Movali’s recent paintings on your website. he was my favorite artist/wrtier when he was presenting articles for and on the cover of American Artist. Morning Catch great abstracting from life on the coast, July – you can feel the heat and the dryness of the sand and the wood. Thank you.
Hello. I doubt you remember me, but you once did my framing when I lived at Carolina Beach. Congratulations on the upcoming exhibit and the impressive list of participants. I’m still paintings – and writing (if you care to look at my website.) I have happy memories of the Wilmington area.
Best to you.

This is a beautiful and impressive collection of art. New and veteran collectors can be assured of aquiring very fine art from this collection. Congratulations on your anniversary–in today’s market, that is quite an accomplishment and testimony to your values.
Sharon, Thanks for the kind words! I think the key to the 25 years has been that we work with amazing people – both the painters and the collectors (and those people who are neither but enjoy beauty). We are hugely blessed and really thankful for the front doors to the gallery that have brought us such great people. Now can I have a nap? Best, N
Those picks, do not give justice to the beauty of the paintings. I had the chance to see the exhibition yesterday. I am going back today Sunday. I hope to find open doors.
From all i have seen in Wilmington and New-York, and for many years , this is the most amazing paintings i ever seen in 10 years. Some of them reminded me of Jan Vermeer.
I thought i was a good painter compare to what I see in exhibition some times. I guess i was not looking at the right place. Mayfaire exhibition will make you wonder: ” is it a photo or a painting”. Then as you’ll get closer to the canvas…. oh my gosh…. this is oil painting !…
As a painter, I was in admiration. There are not all famous artists…. Art lover this is your chance to own the next generation of Vermeer, Degas or maybe Rembrandt….
They all get God eyes inside they art.
Merci du fond du cœur pour cette extraordinaire exposition.
Josiane.
a world class paintings. thumbs up!
I like the Scott Harding paiting coz the lady in there looks like my girlfriend. .
The paintings looks so real. You are really deserving for the price.
We are so glad to learn about Walls Fine Art Gallery.
Wish I could come and just stare at all the beauty daily. Will definately be at the Q and A on the 13th.

It’s a shame that the juried choices are all photograph like paintings when you have so many great art works exhibited which demonstrate much more individual creativity and style.
Good job Walls nonetheless.
Great show. What a treat to see these professioal artists at their best.
Special thanks to you, David and your staff for working so hard on ths show. Especially for all you do for the local artists who aspire to continue to do their best and get better. The demonstrations were wonderful. I think all artists there got something out of them. Hope to see you today for the Q & A.

This painting of Nikolai Koslov is amazing. It reminds me of a place where I spent my childhood years… Very nice work!!!
So glad you enjoy it. Koslov paints this area of Russia often and the paintings exude his love for it. You should see it in person!
I would love to see it in person!!! Really nice work, have something… I cannot explain exactly what…
We are so glad to learn about Walls Fine Art Gallery
I wanted to say this is in my daily read list on #42, Cheers
Beautiful Painting. i was always taught a pictures value is judged by how long it captures you and keeps you looking. This painting is Timeless, breath taking and my deepest admiration’s to the artist. Regards.
I am utterly enamored by the mini-display of paintings and am looking forward to viewing them in person. I love to surround myself with beauty and I know I’ll find lots of it at Wall’s. Thank you for having the gallery!
This painting of Nikolai Koslov is amazing. It reminds me of a place where I spent my life….
So glad that I can coordinate my Wilmington trip to overlap the Paint Wilmington event. Looking forward to seeing some great plein air and presentations by John Poon, Gavin Brooks, etc. I look forward to coming by the gallery for some inspiration and beauty!
Looking forward to catching up with you! -Nancy
Hi Nancy,
I have been following the exhibits in your gallery for a numeber of years, hopng I would get to see them in person. I have followedone of your artiest, John Poon, which is how I found your wonderful gallery. I have 2 of his oaintings and enjoy the quality of each. If I am not able to attend this year, please enter this email in your drawing as you ave suggested. I hope to get there soon.
I was delighted to have my first exposure to Walls Fine Gallery today and thoroughly enjoyed Perry Austin’s talk.
What a great week of lectures during “Paint Wilmington”! Thanks to Nancy and David for generously sharing their great artists with the community. What a tremendous service you have provided by educating artists and the community in general.
Thank you!
A fabulous week at Walls Gallery enjoying the wonderful painters they had for the Paint Wilmington event. Painters of notoriety and novices in attendance. Professionals very approachable. Nancy and David gracious.
A wonderful gallery featuring some of the best artists today, and a wonderful place to come sit on a sofa and talk with other artists, read some of David and Nancy’s super art books, or converse with Nancy or David. Really good workshops are hosted by Nancy and David, not to mention “Paint Wilmington”, in which several great artists came to the city and not only painted but gave talks and demos on art each day of the week the event was held. Bravo WALLS!
Amazing! I am a newbie in painting, and I am looking around for something interesting. This is going to influence on me
