BELFAST— Lewis Cisle, a local landscape and wildlife painter, has reopened his Belfast gallery and studio to the public. Visitors can arrange to see the gallery by appointment.

Many new works, including various medium and small local landscapes as well as a number of larger paintings featuring images of endangered wildlife have been added to the gallery.

"It's wonderful to sell work that people love, but I needed this time to create a lot of new works while my studio has been closed to the public," said the artist, in a news release.  "Also, my popular local landscapes are now available in many sizes because I don't believe people should have to be wealthy to collect and enjoy fine art."

All paintings are framed with Cisle's hand-made wood frames and are ready to hang.
