First Friday Thoughts

Wow, a month has flown by.  It is First Friday tonight and a big one it is.  Regina and Johanne will be at my Gallery.  I think Tommy Byrd and Kathy Street, Byrd and Street,  will be by, too.  I have CDs and prints by them as well in the gallery.

The new work we have up is so interesting and inviting to buy.  You can buy an original pastel, 5 x 7 inches,  by Regina for only $28, unframed, and more of her work priced accordingly.  Her large piece Smithville Rising II is such a beautiful sky!   Johanne's wood burnings and paintings look great arranged together.  It is tempting to buy them all.


Judy has some new jewelry including some $5 Christmas/Holiday earrings that are fun to wear.  Gingerbread cookies, bells, etc.  She fashioned some decorative chains so you can hang your glasses around your neck like I do.  Very cool stuff!  She will make you a lanyard for your ID or music players or whatever.

Gene will be cooking his famous brisket today and I am making some flour tortillas to wrap it in.  We will have hot cider and a great time.  Hope to see you there!

Lots more going on downtown. Deborah Johnson is having her ribbon cutting today for her new studio.  The artists across the street have open house, the Guild is presenting gift art under $100.  Live music in the restaurants and much more.  Stores are open until 7.  Come on down, gallery hop, have dinner and finish your shopping.

Oh, and remember the workshop in Marble Falls, January 13 and 14.  That is just over a month away.  Yikes, that is next year already!
