Between the Covers

Unbound. Oil portrait on board of a watchful black cat. Approximately 30" x 20". In hand painted white frame. Signed in lower left: "Goreleigh '66." A bit of fine crackling on the surface of the paint and a trifle rubbed, very good or better, the frame is worn. The black cat is pictured casting a suspicious eye, curled up on a table in an art studio, in front of an unfinished sketch of a nude woman, and beside a cabinet or bookcase filled with pottery.

After teaching and leading art schools, the Pennsylvania-born Goreleigh moved to Princeton, New Jersey in 1964 to become the director of Princeton Group Arts, and then established his own studio, Studio-on-the-Canal in Princeton, where he painted and taught for 23 years.
