Celebrating with you


 
 
 
Dear Friends,              

 I would love to invite you to join me to celebrate this special time of the year.  I would like to give thanks for the wonderful family, friends, and loved ones I have been so blessed to know, to have,  and to cherish.  This year has been full of challenges for all of us. Some of you have shared the great news of new grandchildren, weddings, and relocating as well as sharing the sad losses and sicknesses in your lives. Somehow, we all continue to look forward with much Hope and Faith in our lives and know that some day we will have answers to all our questions. Thank you for being there and for helping me grow as a person and a friend. I hope that your Christmas is full of blessings and that next year is the best you have ever experienced. 
 If you are in the area of Springfield, I will be exhibiting my works December 11th through December 30th. My hours are usually from 10:30-6pm, but with Christmas around the corner, I am planning on arriving earlier every day and staying a little later.  I would love to say hello.  I do have some new works of Art and unusual pieces as well. Please let me know if I can do any framing or restoration of art.                                                                                                                
 May you and yours rejoice in the Light of the World this Christmas Season and in the New Year ahead. 
"...I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

DO NOT REPLACE JUST RESTORE

Bring it if it's Broken or Damage 



When I got the notice that the piece of art had fallen from the wall, I expected broken glass.  What I didn’t expect was the gouges that the broken glass had made into the picture itself!  I requested help from Anabela to find a similar piece that would look appropriate with the other piece in the same area.  I even told her that the original piece was “damaged beyond repair.” Anabela responded that a replacement wasn’t necessary, that she could repair it.  I honestly didn’t believe it would look right, but I decided to give it a try- specifically, I told her it would need magic!  This morning, when I got the piece back, I had to admit, she had, indeed, worked magic.  The repair, like a magic trick, is only noticeable when you know exactly where to look and what to look for!  The piece is already back on the wall; thanks!

INSPECT YOUR OWN TREASURES

Watercolors - Giclees - Lithographs and prints in general were not framed properly before 1990's framing explosion. The use of acidic materials, improper use of storage, will deteriorate all original and print art pieces in your home.
Instead of buying new works and throwing away what could be worth a pretty penny, please, take a look at all the prints you have in your home, check for brown spots, paper warping, discoloring browns and dark grays, and check your mat edges for yellowing. Re-framing delays the damaging in your artwork, if you can start with the worst damaged piece first and have it looked at by someone that is familiar with restorations, restore your piece and have it properly framed as soon as you can. It is truly the best gift you can give of something as special as something you already have and love.
