The Art of Living. River Gallery reinvented with country living style By CHARLIE BUTERBAUGH NARROWSBURG, NY—One of Youngsville artist James McGinley’s soothing river scenes hangs beside an antique corner cabinet. A radiant painting by McGinley’s apprentice, Gerry Heydt, is placed between antique Chinese doors. Another by Heydt sits on a pile of bright wool rugs designed by Lava artist Liza Phillips. Artwork by people living in the scenic Upper Delaware Valley is everywhere in River Gallery. It has been since Barbara Braathen opened her doors at 20 Main Street four years ago. Now, thanks to a partnership that Braathen formed with two collectors who live in Narrowsburg, her assemblage of art has been incorporated with a unique style—and, of course, comfort—of country living. | |||||
