Sedona, Arizona.- The Turquoise Tortoise Gallery opens its new exhibition “Brent Nageli: Painting Pots” on October 7th with a reception for the artist from 5:00 to 8:00 pm during Sedona’s “1st Friday Gallery Tour” event. Nageli’s oil paintings on canvas capture with nearly three-dimensional reality, stunning and ancient Native American pottery. His paintings appear even more special when one learns that the artist is completely colorblind. As a child he colored faces green thinking himself accurate. And though he had a passion for art he felt it a hopeless career to pursue and made his mark instead in business, eventually owning his own construction supply company. But all the while he held a longing to be an artist and dabbled in everything from drawing to wood carving to rock art.
