One of my favorite paintings found a home earlier on…

“Sinking Heart” arrived with no apparent problems…Well received by its new owner, it made its way to Ontario quite swiftly by plane. I am glad that it found a good home…all paintings should… The buyer was kind enough to write back with these words:

I received the painting a few days ago, and I absolutely love it. It is so powerful and evocative and all the more special to me because of the story you included about your father. Thank you very much. I really do adore it…

Another happy customer…

Georgia O’Keeffe made her home in New Mexico before anyone could even place it correctly on the map. Some of her work is currently being displayed on the East Coast for the enjoyment of big city folks. On view until January 2010, the Whitney Museum of American Art is now featuring abstract works by Georgia O’Keeffe. The exhibition contains over 130 paintings, drawings, watercolors, and sculptures by O’Keeffe, including selections taken from Alfred Stieglitz’s photographic portrait series of the artist. “Abstraction” will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue, which follows O’Keeffe’s celebrated career and life.

White Rose (1927)

We have had two exhibits since the last time I had anything to post. We are now half way through the second of these shows. Times of Transformationis the title chosen for a group show that had as its main featured artist the work of Joie Villeneuve. She has shown with us before and this show marks her temporary return to the States from Australia. Beautiful work…very much in line with what we had seen before, although very influenced by her surroundings down under…

The preview evening was a nice event…Apparently, those who did not make it and were supposed to be there for the First Friday never made an appearance…Quite a disappointment for us as well as for the artist…although they get another chance this coming Friday, July 3rd…We hope to see them all there…I would not want then to miss the opportunity to see the work.

As I understand it, these paintings will remain in the States after the show is over. Do not hesitate to give us a call if you are later on interested in any of them.

It is a fact: the view is better from a sitting, comfortable position….particularly after a couple of hours of admiring the fabulous artwork displayed in Self Evident.


The Saturday reception took place without a glitch. The guests enjoyed some snacks while they visited with two of our artists, Carol Sanchez and Ali Gallo, who were kindly in attendance. Everyone raved about the work…Carol’s handmade boxes consisting of mezzotints and copper plates, were all sold within the first hour…They are indeed very collectable items…and there are more to come during our First Friday reception…


Ali’s sculptures looked impeccable and perfectly complemented Carol’s prints. The show was extremely coherent and, although succinct, it came together flawlessly…


The biggest surprise of the night were Paige William’s panels…As it often happens with abstract art, they elicited a strong reaction…and I believe that they left quite a lingering impression in some of the guests…In their simplicity, Paige’s paintings are very intriguing and beautiful…We are curious to see how they will be received during First Friday, since the crowd consists of very different people from what we had last night…


All in all, the space looked beautiful with the new additions and changes… It’s coming into its own…
