“The Watercolor Tradition and Fancy” by Cathy Curtis, “This artist pursues a clearly articulated vision. Gallegos’ Crockett Series has the crispness of objects seen in clear air and extremely bright light. His approach seems to be based on subtle transformations of basic forms perceived in a specific atmosphere – a series exploration of the workings of realism.” October 20, 1979, #34
Contra Costs Times, Sunday Magazine: “6W/C 6” at the Richmond Art Center, California:
“Six Aspiring Watercolorists by Cathy Curtis, “Light and air are Gallegos’ true subjects…One painting is of a stretch of highway covered with a thin film of water, it makes you realize the rewards of close, selective observation.”
