Good Times at Twigs & Leaves

I’m in sunny Asheville, NC, having a great time with my family.

Tonight was a “Meet the Artist” event at the Twigs and Leaves Gallery. I am one of their 2 “featured artists” this month. The other artist is a jewelry maker who works with silver. She’s very nice and does great work.

Here are a few pictures I took tonight.

Me next to my paintings:

As you can see, they placed my work in a prominent spot, right by the window! Several times I saw people walking down the sidewalk outside pause at the window when they spotted my paintings, walk in the door, and make a beeline for them to get a closer look! This made me happy.

This is one of the most beautiful galleries I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of galleries.

The spacious rooms, tasteful colors and great lighting complement a staggering variety of original artwork, jewelry, pottery, sculpture, housewares and furniture–all handmade by artists and artisans.

Me with Carrie Keith, one of the gallery’s owners. She is as sweet as she looks!

Tomorrow, (that’s Saturday, the 21st) I’ll be doing painting demos from 10 am to 5 pm at this gallery. People will get to see me in action at the easel, and I will get to answer all of their burning questions about art.

I’ll let you know how it goes!
