More  News Alert! More Art, Workshops and Classes!
We're lining up our May workshops and continuing to enjoy meeting everyone who is stopping by our 727 North Main St. location!

NEW ART:
The uniqueness of our 727 Gallery location is that our artists cover a wonderful  range of diverse talents.  We offer Photography, Fine Art Portraiture, Clay sculpture, wood sculpture and Original oil paintings for the collector in you!   All of our artists are professionals. What does that mean to you?  Well,  not only do you receive exceptional quality artwork but you are also working with artists who understand YOU, our collectors.  You can invest in our art with confidence! Come on by Thursday from 11-5. Friday from 11-7 and Saturday from 11-5 to visit with us!  You are welcome to sit with us on the front porch and watch us work, or step into the coolness of the lighted galleries and absorb the colors and visions of our art work. Either way, we welcome you!

MAY WORKSHOPS and CLASSES!

Child with Rabbit

OK so it's a stuffed toy bunny ! Still, anyone with a child knows the attachment that children form with their little stuffed animals!

This cameo pastel was created from a client's supplied photo as a present for the dad. Big success!

"Everyone loved it! The problem was everyone was thinking the pastel was for them!. So yes, I will need some prints!. Thank you again!"  J. Morton

Meet in the Street art show

Wow-so many miles these past few months that a small show (with over 10,000 visitors!) 14 miles from home....it just doesn't get better than that!

So here I am, having completed a cameo pastel and chatting with all the visitors. Just a hint of rain, a few sprinkles, a light breeze, not too hot. Of course by 3 pm I needed a cup of coffee but what the heck?
The Wake Forest Meet in the Street held May 2 was a big success for all.

Indian Wells, CA here we come! (well almost)

There is nothing colder than a wet, gloomy day in North Carolina on a cold March morning (unless it is the Fall!)

But the dreariness does not stop us from getting our lists down to the wire.....Steve loaded the van yesterday with the portraits. Today is the final Paintings, the wall displays are in. Let's see, a few pillows, the portable coffee, the pastels, the easels, the clothes.....a lo-o-o-ong list!

At this art festival we are renting the tents and tables. Far more cost effective than hauling two Craft Huts and their weights across the country. I am finalyzing one pastel and hope to ship later today. Shipped the large pastel on the right on Tuesday to its new owner in FL. There is always SO much to get ready! Lists are critical.

5 dogs are getting worried. They know something is up and they' re not happy but no one is coming on this trip! We aren't pulling the camper this time and I know as we get closer to the desert regions, it will get warmer. There is nothing worse than traveling with a pet in hot weather!

Then again, I have to keep reminding myself that it WILL be hot. Just as heading down to Florida last month from a snowey NC (and returning to one!) presented a mindset challenge (it was hard NOT to pack a coat) so will our trip across the country.

I guess we are really www.OnRoadArtists.com!
