Betsy and I got a sneak preview of the Dedee Shattuck Gallery

Off to France tomorrow so Betsy and I got a sneak preview of the Dedee Shattuck Gallery in Westport, MA, opening July 4. Probably the best designed gallery I have seen. Dedee's unerring instincts for interiors are expressed. Do not miss. I am proud to show among the best of local artists. Click here for link to website. By the way, never pass up the chance to hug a handsome lady.

About Going

Our daughter Elsa met someone at
a conference and discovered that he
would let artists use his villa near
Toulouse for a month's residency.
He graciously offered me the month
of June 2011. We leave
Monday, May 30.
