Two Sisters now in Accents

Last nite "Two Sisters" was hung in Accents by mcg Design. I am thrilled with the new frame by Dave Brown. The photo doesn't do it justice; there are rusty items within the frame (made from reclaimed barn wood) that match the old rusty machinery in front of the gallery.

Living in a small town has so many benefits, but of course you can't expect to have everything you want. It's a rare and beautiful thing to have a great art gallery such as the Two Sisters Art Gallery. Even nicer, is the relative locality of most of the artists.

Cynthia Stott, the gallery's owner opened with her sister and premiere artist, Lynn Farr, in mind. Thus the name of the gallery, and perhaps, the reason for the warm ambiance found within the gallery's walls. Whether you're local, or just passing through Heber Valley, make a point to take in the gallery's beauty every now and again. It is located in Heber's Old Town, next to the Snake Creek Grill. Here is the gallery website: http://www.twosistersfineartgallery.com/index.html

hanging at snake creek grill

Thanks to Andy of Accents by mcg Design, the chef and owner of the Snake Creek Grill, Dean Hottle, in Old Town Heber, has graciously agreed to hang and sell my "Snake Creek Grill" painting. I enjoyed meeting Dean and hearing his ideas for future paintings. Teasing him that he was so young, i still believe it is such an accomplishment to own and be main chef for such a highly rated fine restaurant. May his culinary success continue and possibly rub-off on my ability to sell paintings in his lovely restaurant!

mirmande, france

I'm a big fan of sketchbooks. It's a great way for me to express my thoughts and experiences in a open format. I have several filled up, mostly from my architecture school days. Here are a few pages from my trip to the south of France back in 2002. I was visiting the small hilltown of Mirmande, which is south of Lyon. I visited the church, wandered the streets and a bit of the countryside. In the evening, I dined in a charming restaraunt...the only one in town. The food was delicious! Can't wait to go back with Carl one of these days...
