Celebrating more than thirty years together, Marylee Moreland and Gary Temple create, and market through The Meadowlark Gallery. They truly present an original Western and Sporting Fine Art gallery. The consistent selections of quality original fine art offerings by the owners substantiate their existence.
The Meadowlark Gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. and Saturdays on demand. The gallery includes a sporting and firearms room. A quaint library offers books and working decoys for sale along with reference materials. Whatever your level of collecting, one is greeted with a large selection of bronze sculpture, and quality paintings. Be sure to also check out our Gallery Tour.
Specialty period artists by the owners include Hans Kleiber, Robert W. “Bob” Meyers, Richard E. Bishop, and Elling William “Bill” Gollings. The largest inventory of works for sale by Hans Kleiber is available at the gallery. Also enjoy the sporting art in our Sporting and Firearms room but be careful not to step on our Lab or German Shorthair companions. The fine art etchings by Richard E. Bishop grace almost half of the room as well. One can step back in admiration of his work for he was the third invited artist to do the Federal Duck Stamp design in 1936.
Step into Gary Temple’s office as there are no private areas of the gallery. Enjoy the bull elk taxidermy mount taken by Gary’s grandfather in 1927. As Gary often states, “One wife is enough but one can never have too many decoys.” Please feel free to ask questions about the various working decoys available in the gallery as they are his favorite subject.
Please give yourself time to visit the gallery as we have more than five hundred original works on the walls for your review. There are no photomechanical reproductions as this is a fine art gallery and not a poster shop.
My memories go back to sitting at the desk of prominent and well known western fine art dealer. The telephone rang and the caller asked the dealer if they had any Bev Doolittle's? The answer was astute and solemn as he exclaimed over the telephone, "Gawd, I hope not!"
Other period works of interest include the fine careers of Branson Stevenson, Hall Diteman, Will James, James Kenneth Ralston, LeRoy Greene, Earl Heikka, L. A. Huffman and Nick Eggenhofer. Contemporary artists include Steve Aller, Valerie Amon, Brett Badgett, Sheryl Bodily, Herb Booth, Shirley Cleary, Robin Earles, Patsy Eckert, Harvey Eckert, Parke Goodman, Don Grant, Mimi Grant, Hugh Jennings, Steve Kelton, Robert Kercher, Steven Kuennen, Marylee M. Moreland, Connie Robinson, Brett James Smith, George Dee Smith, Robert Spannring, Jim Stevens, and Bryan Tarter.
Long known for their quality original fine art offerings, Marylee Moreland and Gary Temple look forward to your next visit. The coffee pot is always on.
