Happy 2008!

WOW! What a great evening we had here at the Dickson Gallery's New Year's Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve party last night. (Friday, Dec 28th). Thank you to ALL of you who attended and very special thanks for all of your support throughout the year.
It was a great night of fine art, live music (thank you Denny Anderson!) and GREAT company. If you missed it...you missed a good one.
...so we're confident that we've ended up 2007 with a bang....and here's to a great new year!
Happy 2008 from all of us here at the Dickson Gallery of Fine Art.

Play and give rice...

An artist and fellow gallery owner, Tom Clifton, sent me a link to this website called www.freerice.com. I checked it out. Pretty cool little site...that tests your words knowledge and donates rice while you're giving correct answers. It's pretty fun...I tried it out. Learn more by clicking on the image to the left...I made it to 40...and then had to quit more for time than anything. Whew...there's some tough words on there too! oh...and learn more about Tom Clifton by viewing his site: www.tcliftonart.com.
Happiness and Joy,

Love my sister!

I just got back from Dallas, Texas and a visit with my sister, brother-in-law and their five children. Great fun being an Aunt to five little ones. I'm thrilled to be back in Tennessee and was welcomed home by three new paintings that had been delivered by artist Weldon Ball while I was gone. I've already called and talked to three people about these paintings...fans of Weldon. I don't expect these paintings to last here past Christmas for sure. ...but I digress.
I got this email from my sister upon my return...of a video she saw on Youtube. LOVE IT!
Take a look...and Merry Christmas...

It's not too late!!!...

...to see Dana F. Brook's fabulous show hanging here at the Dickson Gallery in downtown Jackson, TN. Opening night (Nov. 30th) was a HUGE success (Congratulations Dana!)...but fortunately for those of you who couldn't make it...there's still some great pieces available for you to purchase.
You must, must, MUST come see this show prior to its end December 15th...and while you're here, of course, do some Christmas shopping.
You can't do better than giving the gift of original art!
