We have the line up for 2011 shows which are as follows:</div><ul style="color: #f1c232;"><li>MARCH 31-APRIL 27</li>
<li>JULY 7-AUGUST 3 This is the Long Hot Summer Show</li>
<li>SEPTEMBER 29-OCTOBER 26</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">NOVEMBER 17-DECEMBER 16</li>
</ul><span style="color: #f1c232;">Doug has been working steadily at the gallery on some new art, even getting his hands into some clay. You can drop by if you are in the neighborhood and say hello even though we are on vacation hours. Always good to see friends. </span>Janet & Douglas Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746441438705830881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023787624294332485.post-431695997683047912010-12-17T13:14:00.000-08:002010-12-17T13:14:05.226-08:00<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Christmas is almost here! Doug and I are running crazy like everyone else this time of year. New grandchild, decking the halls, out-of-town company, and the shopping stuff, wrapping present stuff are taking up some of the gallery time. So this Christmas week we are switching off high gear and doing a little coasting to the eve of Christmas. We are so grateful for our wonderful family. We have gotten to know so many people this year and new homes were found for some wonderful art work that passed through the Pearl. This show ends the Dec. 29 and we will be closed for the month of January. A little hybernation.......<span style="color: #cc0000;">Merry Christmas all and Happy, prosperous, & loving New Year. Be safe.</span></span></span></span>Janet & Douglas Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746441438705830881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023787624294332485.post-38816975122600112392010-12-08T11:05:00.000-08:002010-12-08T11:05:35.722-08:00THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="color: red; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

DeShong at one of our openings, then you just haven't been looking. J.T. is one of our "unexpected" artists because she does it all. We have beautiful beaded bracelets which she makes, nudes, abstracts, the most colorful flowers and oh, yes...the little plump ladies that people have been collecting for the past three years at the Long Hot Summer shows. J.T. has returned from Austin, Texas to her home in northeastern Oklahoma and we are so fortunate to show her work. We'd love to show you the wide variety of art she has in this show. </span>Janet & Douglas Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746441438705830881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023787624294332485.post-76521968662482162522010-10-05T12:28:00.000-07:002010-10-05T12:28:11.859-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDMjGeJZzv1pDstLYYwaG-ndU-WzdP_qM_obIromtktZF8Jr7o1EZAFxUgbfq1nM8ZQTbvWn5twClyj0h2Klsp0eG2zSRuhsKsTaS8ZufMXAsMOKnhFp9ytUStyaUhkRI87CqXUWavuWNV/s1600/DSC02473.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDMjGeJZzv1pDstLYYwaG-ndU-WzdP_qM_obIromtktZF8Jr7o1EZAFxUgbfq1nM8ZQTbvWn5twClyj0h2Klsp0eG2zSRuhsKsTaS8ZufMXAsMOKnhFp9ytUStyaUhkRI87CqXUWavuWNV/s1600/DSC02473.jpeg" /></a></div>Janet & Douglas Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746441438705830881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023787624294332485.post-53759875025585263902010-09-29T10:16:00.000-07:002010-09-29T10:16:30.717-07:00THE FALL GROUP SHOW CONTINUES<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The group show continues to draw praise for the colorful and very good art. When we begin selecting work for a show which, has no theme, it is extraordinary to find the universe is helping. Don't know if it's the collective mind or what, but we are surprised every time to see the work flow one piece into the other.

You should remember that life isn't going to always be hot and life isn't going to always be well defined, but it should be a journey re-visited. </div><div style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #9fc5e8;"> I have extraordinary dreams in the month of August and some are prophetic. I once called a manicurist friend to tell her to take extra care touching peoples hands because I saw her getting very sick. I don't know if that's what caused her to use the disinfectant spray with all of us, but she listened; didn't laugh and didn't get sick. While that's not the prophetic thingy, I tend to pay attention to my dreams when the temperature rises and the boggy month of August is upon me. I woke up last week, full awake, because I thought someone had shouted "pay attention". I will. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqOqEm9UzzDkAQJZMu8IreHEL4kveRY8A_dJhkYChqP3E08cChCZ2m5I_L0kBqlCAQ4UoSkvcjKa_IcishtAsnS1HQxQmtN3fpUBTGey7Y6eEo_h2i5vjb3xu29hBqtFGJndOK_PSmIVIB/s1600/jeannie+graham+%282%29.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqOqEm9UzzDkAQJZMu8IreHEL4kveRY8A_dJhkYChqP3E08cChCZ2m5I_L0kBqlCAQ4UoSkvcjKa_IcishtAsnS1HQxQmtN3fpUBTGey7Y6eEo_h2i5vjb3xu29hBqtFGJndOK_PSmIVIB/s320/jeannie+graham+%282%29.JPG" /></a></div><div style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #9fc5e8;">Yes, it's hot. But it isn't any hotter than say 1979 when my oldest and dearest friend from college lost her home air conditioner. I took her a box fan and a six pack of orange Crush. I thought she'd cry from joy. Yes, it will come the autumn and the changes will come with harsh winds, turning leaves and then a softness we will all rejoice in. Halloween and little children in costumes at our doors and if we are lucky that will be Indian Summer. Breath. Trust. Look to the blue sky and know that Oklahoma has it's own color, like Italy. We are the Paris of Oklahoma, we live in Tulsa.</div>Janet & Douglas Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00746441438705830881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023787624294332485.post-11409318481498319242010-07-22T09:46:00.000-07:002010-07-22T09:46:10.869-07:00LONG HOT SUMMER CLOSES JULY 29th<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWPRyQbSlqVB2vXeywEPes9wLoCVujVb7PWG1YK15FzljuP9OIY_HkxQHISHBw0afc5Kwxd7ooWeAfbpk8tJkj_WRkzEZklCf8zvby-UpY3J95AGwz3YyAF3NhYeOQoGhY1Gty_D6GLEsx/s1600/red+art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWPRyQbSlqVB2vXeywEPes9wLoCVujVb7PWG1YK15FzljuP9OIY_HkxQHISHBw0afc5Kwxd7ooWeAfbpk8tJkj_WRkzEZklCf8zvby-UpY3J95AGwz3YyAF3NhYeOQoGhY1Gty_D6GLEsx/s320/red+art.jpg" /></a></div><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">While the summer heat may continue for a few more months this wonderful show will be closing in a week.

The 4th of July weekend starts right here at the Pearl. We have outstanding art for every taste. Nudes and Whimsies really work well together. You'll appreciate the fanciful naked Bunny and Chipmunk of Megan Bell, the amazing work of Susan Sommer-Luarca (she's the official artist for the 2010 Winter Olympics), and Bryan Cooper's dark and quirky images. Many of the usual suspects will be here too so expect to see Allie Jensen's watercolors, Jeannie Graham's nude and her wonderful long necked gals, Lauren Pope has two pencil sketches you shouldn't miss.</span></span></div><div style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">If you aren't familiar with J.T. DeShong's "Little Women" get here early because the collectors of these babes will. J.T. has also got the most sought after accessory of the summer in her beautiful beaded bracelets. Oh! and please don't let me forget that she paints too.</span></span></div><div style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Darren Maine has come from Stillwater with three remarkable nude drawings. He's been busy with his new daughter and we are so happy to welcome him back.</span></span></div><div style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I could go on and on, but you really should just slide on by for the opening <span style="font-size: x-large;">5-8, Wed., June 30th.</span> </span></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
