Blog Break

As some of you have probably noticed, I have taken a bit of a break from the blog. Trey and I were in Corpus last weekend, and that will be getting its on post soon. But, this week I have been super busy at work because last night we had an opening for one of our artists. Some of you have requested more art related posts, so I thought this would be a great time to share with you the blog I write for the gallery. I post things that are happening in the gallery, and also try to post things going on with gallery artists. Click here for the Barry Whistler Gallery blog. Also, the photo on this post was taken by Allison V. Smith, who is not only one of the gallery artists but is also married to my boss. Allison's work is amazing, and she is the inspiration for all my blogging, so be sure to check out her blog here! I hope thats enough to fill your art cravings for now!

Soup Cans

I have lately become obsessed with fresh flowers. They make our still-coming-together-house seem more polished and complete. I especially like Gerber daisies because they are so bright and cheery, but also because they are cheap :) Keeping fresh flowers around adds up quickly! I usually just display them in simple glass vases, but this past Sunday Trey and I were at the Ft. Worth Modern to see their current show, Andy Warhol: The Last Decade and they had the cutest arrangement on the welcome desk. I love the Campbell Soup and daisy tribute to Warhol, and thought it was such a great alternative to the usual plain glass vase. While this was not the highlight of the exhibit, it was the one thing I could hope to have in my home. And although it is sweet, I am not sure it translates as well outside of the museum. But, until I can afford one the Rorschach pieces it will have fill my Warhol craving.
