The Pearl will open the Spring Show April 22 from 5-8.  This is the image for the poster and postcard. It's predicted that this painting will go maybe even before we open!

Quote of the Day: Francisco Goya

"Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; untied with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels."

Nightingale UnBirthday party

I recently served as one of the art judges for the "UnBirthday Party" at the Nightingale Theater, an Alice in Wonderland themed costume/art fund raiser for ArtBeat Magazine.  There were wonderful works available for silent auction sale.  The three winners of the show are here at the gallery through May 20th. They are available for sale. Megan Bell, a very new and promising artist, made these delightful sculptures for the show.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:   "I think the very earliest influence was a horror of having to work in a bank or an office, a desire for a free and creative life." Frank Auerbach

Don Thompson's Photographs

Don Thompson's black and white photographs of  flowers are amazing, crisp and incomparable.  If you've not seen Don's work you are missing an "Ah" moment.

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.  Art is knowing which  ones to keep." Scott Adams
