  3. Very nice art exhibit with a compelling and varied western feel. Having said that, I’m still focused and concerned about the Mole Problano…that is serious trouble 🐳

    1. I would not turn around if I were you. There may be a Mole Problano right behind you. Also, if you respond to this message, you have to sign in again. I’m not sure you are seeing my responses.

  13. The city has some very talented employees.

    Kathryn Chalfant’s texture work is beautiful, but then that boat by Dallas Gorman! It is really nice of the city to showcase the employees outside of their regular jobs.

  22. Fabulous art John. Thank you for sharing it!

    Mind blowing how many talented artists have to work for a living.

    Starving artist doesn’t have the same ring to it, that it used to.

    Kudos to all the artists!
