Arlon Rosenoff Studio and Gallery opens downtown

Artwork of palette knife impressionism is the specialty of Arlon Rosenoff in his studio and gallery at 116 N. Fourth St.

“I paint with the palette knife because it gives me the opportunity to interact with paint in a very tactile, expressionistic way,” Rosenoff said. “The surfaces of my paintings are very telling, sometimes resembling a mosaic of palette knife strokes.”
