AN OUTRIGHT BRAG POST..I HAVE SOMETHING AND YOU DON'T!!! MY FIRST SOLO GALLERY SHOW! LOTS OF PICTURES

Ok..Good Morning..As you all probably know..last night was Nature Boy and I's FIRST SOLO Gallery show...and let me tell you....I AM GONNA BRAG..I have something that NONE of you have...that you CAN'T have...that you probably will NEVER have as long as you live. I have it ALL!!!! I am the bomb!!!! I am the Queen Mother Superior, because I Have IT and YOU don't...Is it talent???? NO... A lot of you have talent that FAR exceeds mine. Is it the SHOW?? NOOOO...many of you (I hope) will have solo shows if that is what you desire....IS it FAME, FORTUNE...NOOOOOOOO...I am not being followed by crazy people with cameras (THANK GOD!)..and I am certainly not rich....hehheheh

WHAT I HAVE THAT YOU DON'T IS ...

BILL.
More SPECIFICALLY...What BILL does for me. hehehee..(teasing you..teasing you...)
BILL ROCKS MY WORLD. Bill and his life partner, Paul are great friends of mine and Nature Boy's. (more mine though..cause they love me best...heheheh) BILL HAS this TALENT...that would make any woman in her right mind SWOON..and makes me (who's not in her right mind)..just giggly with school-girl crush-like emotions for what he does...HE does it better than ANY man that I have ever met. It makes your knees all watery, and shaky...and makes you feel magical things...ANDDDDDDDDD..



HE DOES IT BETTER THAN MY GRANDMOTHER (God bless her soul). NOW, I KNOW you have your curiosity up...Ok...I will tell you..I know that the suspense is killing you. I know you are sitting on the edge of your chair, and wondering if Nature Boy is steaming with pent-up jealousy...heheheehe....

Bill...






BAKES.



Not just anything. BILL BAKES homemade, FROM SCRATCH, mouth-watering, buttery POUND CAKES. Bill bakes these for ME. (See the heart in the middle..hehehe) This baby is 6 inches thick, and the size of a small car. See the crumbly goodness on the top. See it's perfection, and how it is just ready to be eaten off of the top before the rest of the cake. I tell you. If you aren't eaten up with jealousy...you should be. Thank you Bill! Chuck and I (especially me) loves you and Paul with all of our hearts!!!



Now that you all are jealous, and your mouths are watering...Here's pictures of mine and Chuck's first solo show...I want to thank EVERYONE at the Dalton, Georgia Creative Arts Guild for such a beautiful, fantastic reception last night. I appreciate each and every one of you! Thank You!




















It was so nice. They had tables of food and wine, and a lot of people came. We had sold 5 pieces before it started ...which was a wonderful feeling! The exhibit will be in Gallery 111 at the Arts Guild until the end of February, so if you are nearby, I hope you'll stop in and see it.
Live Artfully and eat pound cake!!

First, congratulations on your first solo gallery show. As always, I love all of your artwork.

Now to something even more spectacular . . . OMG! That POUND CAKE! I just want to take those thick flakes of buttery sugary goodness off the top and have them with my morning coffee! LOL

And I KNOW this is probably asking too much, but is there ANY way that your friend Bill would give up his recipe? I would promise not to give it to anyone else . . . for REALLIES!! I just KNOW that cake is *as the teens would say here* . . . THE BOMB!

Congratulations Suzanne - it really looks great all hanging together, and I think this is the first time I have seen your hubby's walking sticks - everything is inspiring creative juices!

Congrats on such a wonderful gallery showing! The pictures of all the art are wonderful! What are the canes? Do you or your husband carve them or something. Everything is very interesting!

You're making me uber jealous with the cake.

I am so excited for you!!!!! I cannot tell you how much I wanted to attend your opening. To be so near and not be able to share this evening with you was just unbelievable, but Friday night I had a prior committment. The installment looks wonderful here. I would really love to have one of your art dolls in my studio. Do you have any currently for sale? If so, you can email me at kathymccullen@aol.com.

Have you ever heard of High Country Arts in Blue Ridge, Georgia? I think your work would be perfect for this gallery. Check out this link

Suzanne said...

AWESOME! I wish I could have seen your work in person. But... from the pics... I think you have an awesome talent. As for the pound cake... I AM very envious! It looks absolutely yummy!

Dana said...

Well done Suzan ! Your paintings and Charles' dolls look amazing ! And, yes, you're right...you have something I will never have: you have Bill. My friends' husbands have no clue about baking. That cake looks yummy....
