Hilary is very nice, I am trying to return to sketching and just bought an easel that I’m struggling with and Hilary was very encouraging with me, and told me not to return the easel, her paintings are really beautiful, I loved seeing them, her husband’s paintings were amazing as well

My young teen daughters and I popped into this studio to check out the paintings and were forever changed by the grace and patience shown by the artist as she shared her passion and explained her process to my inquisitive daughters. Although we weren’t able to purchase any of the gorgeous works of art that day the experience cultivated a budding appreciation for fine art within my daughters. After walking through and discussing what they saw and pointing out their favorites we were greeted by the artist who answered all of their questions. She showed us her work area as well as her husbands and she described their different styles of painting. She showed us her current painting and explained what and how she works on different paintings. My daughters and I were captivated by her words, her art, and her studio.

Osborn & Rugh Gallery Review My husband recently gifted me a commissioned oil painting of teacups. Although I don’t drink tea, I have a long-standing fondness and a collection of a few dozen teacups. All have meaning and a deep sentimental value to me. We came to know both Doug and Hillary when we wandered into their gallery in Falmouth, MA a few years ago and purchased one of Doug’s pieces. Having been in their gallery several times since, we both knew that Doug would be the artist that would paint such an important piece. His special talent as an artist was going to be the perfect match for this commission I now own the most stunning piece of art titled, “Teacups”. I was able to choose my favorite pieces and work closely with Doug on exactly what I wanted. Doug was wonderful to work with and it was a dream project for me. His wife, Hilary, even played a part in the painting! After our initial project meeting, Doug emailed me a few mock-ups so I could see what he had in mind. He took my voluminous notes and created a few compositions. From there it was a true collaboration and I enjoyed every minute of the project. Doug was patient, kind and extremely responsive to any questions or inquires I may have had. It would have been easy to “direct” this piece, but Doug has my utmost respect and so I trusted his amazing artistry to do the piece justice. He knows what works, what doesn’t and how to achieve all kinds of particulars within a painting. His attention to detail is impressive. This project was a dream and I would absolutely do it all again. I would also recommend Doug and Hillary as artists. In addition to being just lovely people, they have the most warm, intimate gallery with an abundance of just beautiful, original pieces. I would encourage anyone to drop by the gallery…you will not be disappointed. In addition, you will have the opportunity to meet either Doug or Hillary!
