Painting by Daryl Harris

Pictured above: “Untitled,” an acrylic painting featured at Greer Oaks Gallery, 2463 N. Palmer St., 264-2049. The artist, Daryl Harris, is a member of ABEA. He has created a stir with his “Train” series, a 40-painting study of national and global race relations focusing on African descendants and whites, though the above painting is not part of that series. For more info, contact Harris at 507-4611 or dhahbop17@aol.com.
