I love looking at art, especially paintings.  I appreciate modern art, classics, renaissance and impressionists just to name a few.  So of course I love going to art galleries.  They are like mini museums but with current works of art.  

I used to love going here when they carried Thomas Kinkade paintings.  I know, I know, he has become quite commercialized, but there is something about his paintings that just draw me in.  I love his painting of San Francisco's Lombard street.  The view starts from the top of Lombard and extends all the way to the bay with a view of the Bay Bridge.  I think it would be AMAZING to have that view outside of my window everyday.  That is what I love about paintings.  It can transport you to another time and place.  Kinkade also painted a picture of Sleeping Beauty's Castle for the 50th Anniversary.  So cute!  

Anyway, the art dealers at Big Valley Gallery were always so friendly and helpful.  Even when I went in without purchasing anything, they always encouraged and welcomed viewing the paintings.  Great gallery in McHenry Village.
