    • Synopsis
    • The movie, Local Color, by artist and director George Gallo is modeled on real events in the director's life as he struggled to learn to paint, it follows an 18-year old in the 1970's who desperately wants to learn representational painting, albeit during a period when an unsympathetic art world considered it passé. After learning that an old Russian artist lives locally, he eventually convinces the old man to mentor him, and the younger artist sets forth to tackle the trials of outdoor painting. The humor, frustration and pursuit of passion put this film on a level of humanity that anyone can relate to.
