I’ll admit it—I’ve been a bit neglectful when it comes to updating the McQuade Fine Arts website. And in the digital world, stale content is a surefire way to slide down the search rankings. So, last month, I began rotating in new artwork and retiring a few longtime residents that had overstayed their welcome.

Each main gallery now features six to eight highlighted pieces available as original works, matted prints, or greeting cards. But let’s be honest—every artist and photographer has far more than a handful of favorites. That’s why we’re introducing Backstage Galleries—a behind-the-scenes look at additional artwork that’s not on public display but still available for purchase by email request. As of this writing, these new galleries are only available on Mike’s Landscapes page and Flowers page. A link button appears at the bottom of each of the galleries that will jump you over to the Backstage. More will be made available in the coming months.

Also beginning to take shape last month is a heartfelt addition: the long-anticipated Robert A. McQuade Memorial Gallery. My late brother Bob was not only a talented wildlife and landscape photographer but also a gifted painter. After retiring, he took to the open road in a 32-foot Class A motorhome, chasing 70-degree days and migrating birds across the American West. Even after being diagnosed with cancer, he continued his journey, drawing inspiration from every mile traveled.

While many of Bob’s photographs were captured for use as painting references and presentations—some too small for large-format printing—they’re still a joy to behold. In the coming months, we’ll be opening dedicated pages to celebrate his legacy, with select images available as matted prints or greeting cards.

Stay tuned—there’s much more to come.
