Art Ark Gallery Exhibit :

Happy New Year!

This January through February I will have

a few paintings exhibited in the

Silicon Valley Open Studios - "Sneak Preview"

at the Art Ark Gallery in San Jose.

The funny thing about the paintings I had planned on showing 

for the Art Ark Gallery is....

My exhibit at the Top Nosh Cafe was ending soon,

and I had planned to show one of the large 

paintings from the cafe ("Veranda" shown below), 

but low and behold,

I got this wonderful email from someone interested

in buying it!

So thank goodness I had a large canvas primed with texture

all ready to paint!

Note to myself: Always be ready for the unexpected!!

I thought "Veranda" was not going to sell by now, 

and I would be able to show it again. :)

The family that bought it for their beautiful home

couldn't be any nicer.  I hope they send me

a photo when they hang it up!

 While my art was on display at Top Nosh Cafe,

I sold another painting to a wonderful person.

She wanted to buy "Fiesta Bloom" for her boyfriend

for Christmas.  They both go to Top Nosh Cafe 

frequently and he had admired this painting.

So this was a special treat for me to meet her 

and be part of a great gift!

I always love meeting the people who like my

art...words can't describe the personal happiness I get!

Back to the Art Ark Gallery:
