Description
We would like to thank Gary Temple of Meadowlark Galleries, Joliet, Montana for preparing the following catalogue note:
From his personal diary entries, Gollings would concentrate on creating paintings, seven inches by ten inches. The artist called those paintings “pot boilers.” The price range of the “pot boilers” allowed them to sell faster and provide for the livelihood of the artist.
