INCREDIBLE!!!!!

We realize that this is the most exciting time of the year for most people but we at the Frank Mann Museum of Fine Arts (FMMOFA) are absolutely ecstatic over the acquisition of an original canvas oil by Frank Tauriello!!! Can you believe it!!! Frank Tauriello was born in New York and later settled in California. He graduated from Syracuse University and was a student at the Art Students League of New York under Frank J. Reilly, the famed illustrator. In California, he began focusing on portraiture and was an instructor and juror for the California Art Association and the American Society of Portrait Artists. Tauriello was a member of the Salmagundi Club of New York, National Cowboy Hall of Fame, and is on the Board Emeritus of The American Society of Portrait Artists. Most of his portraits are in private collections, including commissioned works by Merv Griffin and Clint Eastwood. Hey, can you imagine messing up Eastwood's portrait? I'd be afraid he would pull out that .357 magnum and fill me full of holes!
