While I was frolicking in the French, Austrian, German and Italian countryside

My work was being exhibited at

the

The Springville Museum of Art

The Museum is known for its fine collection of Utah Art spanning from the Pioneer Days to the present. It also houses the largest public collection of 20th-century Russian Impressionist and Realist art in the western United States.

Located 60 miles south of Salt Lake City,  the building was designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival Style, dedicated in 1903.

  The Exhibit ends Friday, the 14th day of October, 2011

It was an honor to be featured.

Have a great weekend, my dear blogging friends.

We have Friends

Very talented Friends

Recently we attended an Art Exhibit featuring well known Artist Susan Gallacher

As often happens, when you have been married for 47 years, we independently picked the very same painting as our favorite 

Now it so happens that Susan is a very good friend.  On weekends, Susan lives in her charming, turn-of-the-century country house

And, Susan was in need of a kitchen mural for her newly remodelled kitchen

Exchanges like that happen in our little town

This is my reproduction of an original painted by a Dutch artist in the 18th century

It is believed that it might have been used as a shop sign by a Dutch Flower Seller

Susan thinks that it is perfect for her kitchen and we love our new painting

Good Will abounds in our little town

For an entire winter Gene helped our local Sheep Rancher feed more than 800 head of sheep.  That represents lifting many heavy bales of hay. 

Beef Pot Roasts keep appearing at our front door.

In winter, after a snow storm, I don't see much of Gene

He's visiting all over town with his beloved Ford Jubilee Tractor, digging and moving mountains of snow

A thank you is all he needs to make him happy

Have you made a memorable exchange?
