Nice. Great work.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful works. It was fun to walk through downtown and along the waterfront to see these artists at work on Saturday. I love this artist community and their willingness to share their process with us.
Thanks Cole Gallery and staff for a wonderful event. It was great to see all the amazing pieces and meet some of the artists.
I somehow missed this! But what a great idea and what great art. Thanks to Denise Cole and her excellent staff/team.
