Portrait



Mr. Blandings and I went to First Fridays last week. First Fridays is our monthly art walk and the Crossroads District was teeming with people.

It took a little patience to park and see and eat, but it was worth it.

We made a point to go see David Gant's show at the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center. It's a terrific display of many familiar local faces. Gant went on a binge in January completed over one hundred pieces.

The show runs through August; the gallery is open Thursday - Saturday 11 - 5, First Fridays 6 - 9 and by appointment.

    Okay, I am now a Gant fan. If I had to have my portrait painted by anybody at this moment in time, it would be Gant. Any idea as to prices?

Thank you for taking the time to leave a message. I am quite willing to publish remarks that criticize me, but will likely delete disparaging remarks targeted at someone else.
