Art Lover

When it comes to art, taste can vary from person to person, but locals may appreciate Laguna Beach artist Chris Gwaltney’s abstract painting, “SCHOOL BUS,” a 40- by 34-inch piece made with oil, graphite and grease pencil on linen. The contemporary painter’s works are collected around the world by collectors including tennis star Maria Sharapova. While there is only one of this particular Gwaltney painting, others are also available at Kennedy Contemporary.
