Update

The 5th annual charity event at my Gallery was a huge success!  The exhibit and sale of jewelry designed by Barbara Ellis and Rita Linton, was amazing.  They even dressed in black with Halloween jewelry and hats! I sure appreciate the efforts of Pat Leggett (the district representative from the charity, "Shoes That Fit") and her friend, Carol. They were so helpful and so supportive.

Update

It's October!  A big welcome to friends, family and all new people to my gallery as "season" begins.  Come see this 24" x 36" artwork in my gallery.  This is a close-up of the details using earthen colors and  repetitive patterns.
Also, mark your calendars for the 5th Annual Charity Event, "Bling, Baubles and Bubbly",  Monday Oct. 19  5 - 8 pm. in the gallery.  Two jewelry artisans have been invited to show and sell their work - one night only!  20% of all the sales will go to "Shoes That Fit', a charity that provides new shoes for school children in Bonita Springs. Free. Refreshments served. Public welcome.

Update

I like the way the neutral colors in this composition interact with the angles of the wood shape and the mirror shards. The size is about 36" in diameter.

New Fine Art Piece

 

This summer, I have been working on new abstract shapes for my art. This piece, which is approximately 15 inches x 24 inches, is an example of sharp angles. 

Third Summer Sunday Didn't Happen

Due to the hurricane warnings. I had to cancel the third "Summer Sunday".  So disappointed.  But these things just happen so we make the best of it.  Sorry for any inconvenience.  Hope it doesn't happen next year.

2nd Summer Sunday

This past Sunday was the Second "Summer Sunday" at my gallery.  Just like the first, the people who came were friendly and enjoyed signing up for the "FREE ART"drawing.  I just finished calling all of the winners.  The artwork they have won really is a nice addition to the home or a nice gift.  August 26 is the third and last "Summer Sunday" for 2012.  It will be another fun time for everyone who comes to the Gallery.  Remember the date, August 26 from 1 - 4 pm. You don't have to be present to win but you do have to sign up on Sunday.  See you then!

Summer Time in the Tropics

Just an amazing change in the demographics of SWFL when "season" ends.  Traffic is so nice and sparse, people are not rushed and the stores are not filled.  I think the sound level even diminishes.  However, that being said, it is always a joy to see the tourists return - they bring an incredible energy to the area that I thrive on.  My studio and gallery are filled with special orders ready for me to emerge myself in.  So much fun and such a challenge. Every day is an affirmation of what I love to do.  I am very grateful.
