Well, this is my first test of whether or not I will return to blogging here instead of WordPress (where I will leave a trail of thread-crumbs).
Sadly, it’s a post about our favorite gallery in our latest hometown, closing after seven wonderful years. I made a wine bottle label so we could gift the owners with a collage of the seven paintings we purchased at Assemblage …
Happily, they will still be living in town and their business will continue virtually, so it’s actually more of a fare-you-well … and thanks for the memories!
I have been noticing that there are fewer galleries and even museums where I live and it is a sad commentary. The wine label is wonderful and so good that you had the chance to say goodbye.
ReplyDeleteFortunately Assemblage will continue to exist online, but there's nothing like seeing art in person, whether in galleries or museums.
DeleteWhat an incredibly thoughtful gift, Liz.
ReplyDeleteI smile as I recall we used to make wine labels as Christmas presents many years ago ... when I realized no one was actually drinking the wine, I switched to using sparkling apple cider bottles ;)
DeleteOh no!! I loved that gallery and am so glad you shared it with me. Best wishes to them.
ReplyDeleteI especially loved their show openings when we got to meet so many of the artists ...
DeleteI found you! :) A fun way to honor someone! Hopefully this is a change that will help them thrive...
ReplyDeleteYea! I think this new way of going may actually work!
Deleteso far very easy :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it worked well on your end
Deletewhat a great wine label.
ReplyDeleteThanks muchly ... I recently found photo quality adhesive paper that runs through my inkjet printer ... much easier than the "good old days" when I had to apply labels with double-faced tape
DeleteLiz~ What a wonderful idea and implementation of the wine bottle label! Well done! Hopefully their online business does well too. PS Love your wrap. ~Nancy
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy ... a gift from one of my girls that I really should wear more often
DeleteLA - sad that he gallery is closing; but your gift of special wine label is very thoughtful. Go well. B
ReplyDeleteThanks B ... I'm sure you know much more about the challenges of running a gallery than I could ever imagine
