Dow Art Galleries, LLC — Attraction in Fort Worth

I inherited an oil painting from my mother from a not so well-known but very accomplished and published artist. My father smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day. I took the painting in to re-frame and to have it cleaned. Mr Dow talked me into restoring the original frame instead of replacing it. Turns out to be a frame of the highest quality and very much worth keeping, especially because it was original to the painting. They also cleaned the painting itself from they layers of nicotine and dirt that had made it as a thin layer on its face. The depth of color revealed is sublime, and the layered brushstrokes now stand out to give dimension to the weeds and grass. More blue has revealed itself within the taupes of the landscape and the white of the thunderclouds more sharply silhouette an angry sky. I will enjoy many hours as this painting keeps me company with the memories of my youth, and I will experience the dark excitement of a coming thunderstorm as if it were my first one every time I look at it. Thank you...

Never did really look at my painting. Said every negative thing he could about it. I am handicapped and crippled from my injuries. I live on a fixed income. Financially I'm going under and possibly will be living on the streets within a few months. It hits me hard when I have to spend money on gasoline to drive up to fort Worth and get nothing accomplished but treated very badly. I was referred to this establishment by a very prominent notable person. I am as friendly as a box of puppies and treat others with all...

Greg Dow restored the only photo of my father-in-law that we have from his younger years. It had been covered in a substance that darkened and obscured the 1932 photo. Mr. Dow was able to painstakingly clean the photo to near-original quality. Mr. Firestone died almost 41 years ago, and it is wonderful to have this reminder of him framed and on display for us to see daily. What a great talent, as well as careful patience, Greg Dow...
