We have been absolutely thrilled with the response to our Stories and Tales exhibition. It really does feel a bit like spring when you enter the gallery and walk through the colors and birds and images of a warmer month. Our snowbanks are still ruling the roads here in New Hampshire, but there is plenty of hope inside our doors. Thank you to all who have stopped in and have called. There is still some time left for the exhibition so pop over here at the shop to see what it's all about.

A quick note about Friday's opening of Stories and Tales - nice small crowd, tiny infact as winter still has it's firm grip on New Hampshire's population. Abby Glassenberg attended and we were so pleased to have her visit.
The show looks wonderful and if you are around our neck of the woods -in the next three weeks, we would love you to stop in and say hello!

More delicate beauty from Stories and Tales. This piece by Tara Hogan of (Ink and Wit fame too) makes me think that spring is on the way. It is wonderfully delicate and strong at the same time. Lots to do tonight so off to the paint/patch shuffle step!

Alena Hennessey's work is absolutely breathtaking! Her larger pieces fill the area with a calm sense of a quiet moment in a garden. They are adding just a little more beauty to this incredible show we have opening tomorrow night - Stories and Tales. Click through the photo to see the whole set of lovely photos.

Darryl Berger -

okok i wont go out to far, originally uploaded by artstreamstudios. $200

ok ok i won't go out too far... I love the names of Darryl's paintings almost as much as the paintings themselves. OK, that's not true. His handling of the paint and surface texture is wonderful. This is one beautiful painting which will open with the others on Friday.
A note from Darryl's statement:
I paint misguided fables – those imagined (and remembered) dreamscapes of childhood, where icons of fun get twisted around with the glamour and dread of all things unknown, and the extraordinary just wanders in. The meanings of these self-imposed stories are mostly fleeting or fantastical or misunderstood. Naturally, in a realm where the perspective is confused (or just distorted by so much looking up), letters and words become physical things to be wondered at, the horizon appears limitless, and animals seem supercharged with magic.

Beauty - non? Check them out in the shop later in the week. Until then you can visit Darryls blog or our flickr account over on the sidebar. He is also a fab writer and maker of tiny books. I will show that later on...
