End of Year Show

It is time for the November show at the gallery and this year we are introducing something new. We call it Gallery Squared. Each exhibitor was asked to produce art on 10" square wooden blocks. This is in addition to the regular pieces that are to be exhibited this quarter. I have produced two of the squares. "Are you talking to me?" is based on the facial expressions of my mother's Pekingese, and "Where is that 'Paws' key?" is from my curious little Cockapoo discovering a keyboard. While I wasn't thinking about it when I created these, it seems that the majority of my sales this year have been animals and birds.


"Amelia Summit Meeting" is from the scene outside the gallery's back window. There in a small golf course lake is a log where the local turtles meet to sun and?.

"Downtime" comes from a scene I observed in Rome last year. The drivers seem to spend a lot of the day relaxing in the carriages. Might make a nice retirement job.

"Mutual Admiration Society" is based on one of my daughters love for animals and the knowing response of a carriage horse here on Amelia Island. I hope I have portrayed the feelings that each has for the other.
