  Whistle Pik Galleries Christmas Miniature Show

  Galleries, Exhibitions & Shows, Paintings, Paintings in Little - Small Miniature Paintings

  Here are some snapshots of the gallery during the opening event for the Christmas Miniature Show (www.whistlepik.com).  I was very pleased that all of my family’s paintings in the show were sold out when we arrived. The exhibit space is set up very beautifully, and as you can see there was quite a crowd.  For those who haven’t been to the Whistle Pik Galleries before, the gallery also has a courtyard featuring a collection of large bronzes (as well as a fountain and gardens), and a second gallery building with some of the larger works and the gallery’s offices (which also have beautiful collections of artwork.)

  Though I don’t paint in that style, I really enjoy the free Western style of painting….a style of painting that is represented well in the gallery.  I met a very nice artist, Qiang Huang, and his wife.  He has some of his lovely still life works on his blog…his originals were very nice.  I also enjoyed seeing some artwork from Africa, a collection of small etchings, and a beautiful large piece by Norman Rockwell.

  It is very inspiring for an artist to go see beautiful artwork, showspaces, and different environments – not to mention meeting so many interesting artists and clients.  Many thanks to Tim Taylor from Whistle Pik and all of the gallery’s personnel for their wonderful hospitality.  ….and for the lovely artist’s party as well! (…which was also amazing….and delicious. )

  My family and I will be supplying the gallery with more work for exhibition in the gallery regularly.  I am hoping to complete more pieces for them soon…

  Thank you for mentioning me in your blog. It was great meeting you, Karen, and Bonnie. Your family is so remarkable and your paintings are phenomenal. I was so shocked hearing your cougar story. It was so scary. I would like to check your blog often. So would you mind I post your blog link in my blog?

  Best regards,

  Qiang

  Hi Laverne — Thank you for your comments! Nice of you to drop by.

  Hi Qiang - it was so nice to meet you and your wife, too. We really enjoyed our stay in Texas (even though it was a bit short). Yes, of course you can link to my blog. (I’ll get yours added to my blogroll also….we’ll swap. )

  Happy painting!

  Best,

  Rebecca
