WAXAHACHIE – The Ellis County Art Association will be hosting Gene Dillard, Texas artist, at the monthly meeting, June 2 at First Baptist Church of Waxahachie (450 US287 BYP). 

The public is encouraged to attend.

The paintings of Dillard celebrate the grandeur of landscapes and dramatic characters of the real West and the West of cultural imagination.

His unique vision combines the popular genre of Western art with the contemporary pop art imagery of the comic book for a distinctive confluence of style and content. 

In addition to his “Cowboy Pop” paintings, Dillard paints life-like portraits on commission that capture the personality and spirit of his sitters.

The meeting at Waxahachie First Baptist is open to everyone and begins at 6 p.m. with refreshments and socializing. 

Announcements and business will start at 6:30, and the Demo will begin at 6:45 p.m. 

The event is free, and everyone is invited.
