The New Art Gallery Celebration ...Continues!
The New Art Gallery was very busy over the past two weekends!
I was so pleased with those of you arriving from all over Central Oregon!
Reminded me of “Old Home Week”!
The conversations included: Updates about family and friends,
the massive changes that have occurred in Central Oregon!
I left three years ago!
Isn’t it amazing how fast life and time moves!
The store interior and the future plans for the commercial property received great reviews.
When you walk into this new little gallery ...only 725 square feet...
(my last art gallery was 4250 square feet) you see the image below.
The old hutch I purchased just a few days after moving to Oregon...
it was OLD and had 17 layers of paint on it.
The hutch was dipped and all the paint was removed.
The hutch was built around 1882.
It now houses the extraordinary story of the artists within my family.
As many of you know the list is long.
Below is part of that family heritage.
The image on the left of a Nez Perce Chief has hung on display in everyone of my art galleries.
I created the image when I was nine years old.
The image on the right is from a pen and ink my Mother created of Admiral Perry.
On top of the hutch you can see one of my fathers amazing bird carvings.
Books about my ancestor George Catlin are also included.
The Copper Lustreware pieces I have collected along with my parents for years.
They are significant to me because they played an important roll at
Fort Vancouver.
The Hudson Bay Company used this pottery for daily use.
In the near future a painting depicting Fort Vancouver's History will be released.
If you click on the blog search you will find a story about the history of Copper Lustre.
So the next time you visit Fort Vancouver look for these pieces within their displays.
I always feel we should honor our history, learn from it and share it with the next generation.
What future Artists will be added to the Lake Legacy Generational List?
Have a Wonderful Evening!
Enjoy Life & Learn to Live Happy!
