Views of the Neighborhood – Art Center

~ John W. Howell

This week is the first Friday that the new Art Center is open. It was a grand gathering with wine and finger foods. How about we walk around together.

The Art Center is now finished. Here is the parking lot.

This is a shot of the OPEN sign showing the cars in the reflection.

Here is a look from the front door.

An alcove with lots of jewelry

An artist who does lovely paintings of local animals.

Another view of the interior

Music was provided by Jack Grant, Arnold Govella, Bill Averbach and more.

A shot of another alcove

There are also ceramics (Hard to shoot against a window)

List of the patrons.

I thought the cocktail tables in the shape of pallets were cute

Another photo of ceramics.

This is Amy Sullivan who was juried and awarded a Merit Show Artist designation.

Her winning entry is the fish on the right.

This airplane painting is beautiful.

Had to get a shot of the wine bar and servers.

This chandelier at the front is stunning in person. I hope you enjoyed our evening at the art center.

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  2. Thank you for the tour, John. 🙂
    Amy Sullivan’s fish certainly deserves a prize. The airplane painting is great. I also like the dramatic sky to the left; blue skies are beautiful and boring – cloudy skies fascinate me.

  13. Wow, John. It really is a grand place. You’re right about that chandelier, and so many lovely paintings. The necklaces in that display case look fun. And the table like a paint pallet? Too cool. Thanks for a fun Sunday visit. Hugs on the wing.

  16. That Art Centre looks great, John. Definitely on our list to see the next time we’re down there. From a short glimpse at the pictures it looks like we need to bring the check book, too! 😉
    Have a great Sunday,

  18. It’s so gratifying when a community gets behind artists and gives them the recognition and encouragement they need. Kudos to your town, John. I find myself captivated by that chandelier, too!
