Two Sides to TerbushTwo Sides to Terbush, a solo exhibition of new acrylic paintings by acclaimed artist Dale Terbush, will be on view at Blue Rain Gallery Durango from September 3–25, 2025. Highlighting the dynamic range of Terbush’s vision, the show explores the duality between his ethereal, romantic landscapes and his bold, Southwest-inspired abstract works. Both series are distinct yet unified by his luminous use of light. From radiant skies to expressive geometry, Terbush transforms the acrylic medium into an emotional and visual experience that honors both the external world and the inner spirit. Join us for an artist reception on Friday, September 19, from 5–8pm during Durango’s Fall Gallery Walk. Date/Time: Friday, September 19th from 5-8pm Cost: Free!
