Look at this!
We placed the Face the Public painting on the wall in the gallery and can't believe how great it looks! We hope to see you on First Wednesday for our new show and a peak at this finished piece.
New show!
We just finished hanging the new show at the gallery...Explorations III by the late John Casey. I feel fortunate to be having this show, John was one of my professors from Western Oregon and I had kept in touch with him over the years. He was a wonderful man, a talented artist and a good friend. John always encouraged me to do my best with the gallery...his thoughtful teachings helped me understand art and artists. He is truly missed by many.

Day 7 Face the Public
Jane Aukshunas was at the gallery today adding her talent to our painting. Watching Jane and catching up with her is always a treat for us.
Before we knew it, Jane was fast at it and quickly added colors.
and not long after her arrival, Jane had visitors who love her work and wanted to meet her in person. hence, meeting "her public"!
Back to work.
A brief break for lunch. Meg was keeping close watch for crumbs.
Tools for the day
The completed square
Did we mention how large this painting is? Jane and Tina had to hold while I took the photo.
Wow. It's coming together! Two more to go.
