In the artist's own words, Leonard "Dutch" Gosman shares: "I always loved to draw, but honestly, I've always been average. It didn't matter; I just enjoyed doodling around. Over the years, I started traveling to Mexico and Central America. I yearned to share with friends the sites I would visit, but with the beautiful colors that drawing couldn't relate. The pandemic struck, and I found myself stranded in the mountains of Guatemala. At this time, I decided to paint. I foolishly thought, 'Hey! Watercolor looks easy.' It's not. But I found a world of color that opened up possibilities. Not long after, I discovered oil painting and travel. I found that I have a real attraction to tonalism; George Inness is one of my favorites in this style. Today, I am enjoying various styles of oil and watercolor, trying to reflect my experience and impression of my travels to inspire and move emotionally those who see my work. I hope that my paintings soothe the patrons' souls.”

Perceptions Yoga, Mindfulness and Art is pleased to announce an exhibition and sale showcasing approximately 45-50 artworks by Leonard "Dutch" Gosman throughout September 2025. The exhibit will be open to the public from September 9th to September 26th.

A closing reception will be held on Thursday, September 26th, from 5-7 PM, offering an opportunity to meet the artist and enjoy refreshments. Gallery hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 1-5 PM and Saturdays from 11-2 PM.

Gosman's collection, featuring oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings, often reflects his travels and experiences in places like Montana, Mexico, and Central America.

October Art Show

Polymath, A Gallery Exhibit by Logan Easler

Meet artist Logan Easler at the opening reception of his first gallery show, Polymath, on October 3rd from 5 to 7 pm at Perceptions in Vernon.

Enjoy light refreshments, and explore his remarkable works in our historic gallery space.

This event is free and open to the public. Artworks will be available for purchase, supporting both the artist and Perceptions’ mission to provide art, yoga, and mindfulness experiences to our community.

The exhibit will remain on view through the end of the month.

About the Artist: Logan Easler seeks to inspire beauty from both light and dark spaces. His work, whether it be oil and acrylic on canvas, tattoo ink on skin, or the finely chiseled scroll work on maple, strives to communicate beauty in bold and delicate ways. His methods focus on the preservation of traditional techniques-handmade needles in tattooing and hand held woodworking tools.

Tattooing since 2017, woodworking since his teen years, and painting/drawing since childhood, Logan has not only refined, but expanded his craft. His passion for creating beauty and executing it in a time honored tradition, speak through all of his various art forms.
