Two Viewsof the Treasured Coast by Grover Slater and Gingi Martin
Martin and Slater had spent all March of '06 traveling about Florida to capture it's full splendor.
Not a day would escape them without sketching some landscape or vignette of this beautiful location. A wonderful show was compiled showing all of their most treasured moments.
Slater worked in watercolor and Martin in oils, their work is so well executed.
One of Gingi's promises to herself was to capture the manatee. Please click on the pic to see a much larger version to truly appreciate the painting.
Her trees were my favorites of her works.
A good friend of mine and her son came in to take in the show. Here you see them conversing to Grover in and amongst the showing.
They took time to give a very detailed talk on the techniques and inspirations. They also went into the where and how of the paintings.

The 'Feed the Arts' committee provided the refreshments, which I am a part of also.
Ridgway Record editor interviewing two of the originators of the committee.
The meet-up not only featured the show but, also then I introduced our new Executive Director and Artistic Coordinator to the artists and general public.
Our Director also then introduced me to the group as the originator of the Meet-Ups very wonderfully I might add. I was very, very pleased with the entire event ;)
The next meet-up will be at my gallery The Flemish House Art Gallery/Studio on October 25th at 6:30.
