Christmas House - Grand Harbor

December 6-7-8 myself and three friends and Artists Guild Gallery colleagues were part of a home decorating Christmas project in Grand Harbor, Vero Beach Florida.  It was a fun, interesting and challenging collaborative project that culminated in many people getting inspired and delighted by our handiwork in decorating with tinsel and lights and foo-foo stuff, and gracing the walls and easels with our beautiful paintings.

Ours was the Billiard Room, and under the 3 large low-hanging lights we positioned a long table and graced it with small framed works on decorative table easels.  Lights were everywhere, we had a seating area and a welcome table, and things moved along nicely.

The home was beautiful and mansion-like, with a spectacular view of the Indian River Lagoon.  Some of the participants were: House of Charm, Minakshe De, Ray McLendon, Bob Barbour, members of Gallery 14, and several other local decorators.  Each room was decorated with a Christmas theme, and it really set the mood for the season.

Well, my Guest Artist spot for the Artists Guild Gallery closed in November, and I am now a free agent.  What to do now?  Lots of options and ideas, however must get past the holiday season first ... and enjoy our first Christmas with our 2-year-old granddaughter--what fun!

In the meantime, a sampling of my work can be seen at the Sebastian River Art Club's Art Center, 1245 Main Street, on Sebastian's City Hall complex.  I will be involved in several shows around the County, and will post soon about those.  One painting (don't know which one yet) will be on view as part of the Sebastian River Art Club's Public Art Program, ongoing in Compass Therapeutic on 14th Avenue in the Arts District in Vero Beach.  A private showing of works in my studio is scheduled for late winter, date to be determined.  Watch for my painting of "Green Umbrellas" on a flag within the Arts District on SR60, coming soon.  Happy holidays to all, and blessing to everyone reading this ... thanks for stopping by.
