Symbolism is a lithograph

Another postcard bouquet with peacock feathers including some of my lady postcards
and Margaret W's watercolor Night Flight

Okay so i did a dumb thing...i didnt take pictures of everything in the show...none of the newer stuff...There were more than 60 pieces of art in the show...and this is the few things i took pictures of...

Randy Cannon and his staff at the Milledgeville Allied Arts did such a great job putting our things on show i should have...i dont know what i was thinking...maybe someone else took better pictures? So i dug alot of my computer...i did take pictures of Margaret Wesley's stuff ...not all of it...had a lot of that too on my harddrive...so heres what i have dug up...bytw none of my newest stuff...

BYTW the show will be up thru October 10 in the old Marlor House which is the Allied Arts Center in Milledgeville Ga. 90 miles or so both from Atlanta and Augusta just off I 20...Milledgeville is a lovely college town filled with old antebellum building so you might want to take a tour of it whilst you are there...
