Opening



Had the Eskimo Sister's Gallery Opening on Saturday!  Wooly Fair was a blast and I had a bunch of friends and family come for support which is always fantastic.  Above is a pic my aunt Kathleen got of Jeff and I playing with our friend Pete's dog Jackie (who was wonderfully behaved all night long despite the crowds and heat)


There was amazing artwork everywhere you looked


Such a fun vibe to be a part of




I wish I could give all of the artists credit for the beautiful work I'm showing but there was stuff everywhere; besides I feel that they were more interested in beautifying than getting a nod (which they would doubtlessly get from everybody!)


However, I do know who this artist is because this was one of the pieces in the gallery with my work.  Marguerite Keyes made this amazing and tiny piece called "A Slight Tug."  Unfortunately I did not get to meet her but fortunately her website is fabulous and there is plenty more to see there.


This is half of Alexander Barton's "Preach & Practice" that was painted with pigs blood!!! Intense! Again, didn't meet this artist but he has a superb website that should definitely be looked at!


Shot of my "Vertical Landscape" with the cupcakes




One of the cupcake choices was "Mexican Chocolate" which Jeff made the mistake of trying... only a mistake of course because he isn't into spicy food and that think had a KICK!
