Emotions & Art Gowns

The Art Show was a success, a thrill, and a joy. This was Diana’s 8th showing. It was my first, marking it as a personal milestone.

The Artists

Resa above and Diana below

One day Diana (a hair stylist to the stars I know from working in film) took me to an empty store, and drew a mental image of an art show we could have.

She said we can turn this empty space, into a showcase place for our art.

Above is before and after. The after shot is not quite the finished space, but close. I did change light bulbs from halogen to warm white led’s.

Diana took one side. I took the other. Diana got her paintings hung up in no time at all.

Mine were still along the floor. Then she hung mine up in no time at all.

She came up with the welcoming furniture.

I made a slide show that was projected on the screen at the back.

Diana paints with oils, sometimes adding sparkles or gems. A self taught artist, her spirit resides with notable self taught artists: Frida Kahlo, Henri Rousseau, Grandma Moses and Jean-Michael Basquiat and others.

I adore her & her art, and will be doing a more comprehensive article on this artist in the near future.

The Art Gowns

I was able to display 3 Art Gowns at the show.

Jade

Mademoiselle Emily

For Gigi

– by Holly Rene Hunter (from original post)

She is fine
like Dynasty porcelain.
Her words are the chimes of
a host of carillons that ring
True and wise, clear as bells.
Her hair is a storm
Of Harlow platinum
eyes, a deluge of diamonds.
Not to give into Winter
She winks over her shoulder,
saunters Emmy's catwalk
adorned in Chanel and Lavender.

Queen Isabella

Thank You Tim!

SURPRISE!! Timothy Price (Off Center Not Even) sent $$$$ to my PayPal, to help with costs. Although the space was free, there were lights to buy, photo cards for handing out, diesel gas for Diana’s truck, a deal we worked out with the restaurant beside us for wine and pizza and more.

…and Rock Legends made the wall.

A few posters were made up to sell.

Wrapping out was a sweet sorrow.

From the top and bottom of my heart – Thank You, Diana!
