Art Walk and Kjeld Mahoney Gallery Preview

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”

~Pablo Picasso

Today is a very special day.  Not only is it the very first day of my favorite month – May.  It is May Day.  It is First Friday AND it is the Scituate Harbor Art Walk!!!!  Tonight, in Scituate Harbor over 40 artists will be displaying and sharing their beautiful artwork in many shops and storefronts on Front Street.  At the bottom of the post, I’ve included the flyer.

I am honored to be one of the artists displaying their work.  To me painted furniture is art.  I really design and come up with a story for all my painted pieces.  Painting furniture is very much my creative outlet but also I feel that I’m restoring these gorgeous old pieces to be celebrated again.  All of these pieces will be available at the Kjeld Mahoney Gallery and I will be there too to chat and share.

I’m hoping all my local friends are able to come out and come down to the harbor.

I realize many of you who read the blog are spread across the US and Canada and, well, actually all over the world.  So I thought I’d give you a little gallery preview.  Kjeld’s photography is gorgeous so you’re in for a real treat with this post.

Let’s take a little stroll around the gallery shall we?

Oh, this table is brand new and you haven’t seen it yet.  Her name is Abigail after one of the Bates Sisters, whose story I shared yesterday.

Her little drawer has a pretty brass pull.

The table is painted in a very pretty light blue green painted and lightly distressed.
