This gorgeous painting, "Poet," is by my friend and business partner, David Robinson. David's solo show, "Recognitions," opens tonight – April 1st – at the Rock/DeMent Visual Arts Space in Seattle, with a reception from 6-9pm. I hope you'll go if you're in the Seattle area.

I LOVE his painting. Any chance you could facilitate a show of his work here in Asheville? I am going to click his name and see if it takes me to a gallery of his images. WOW.

Patti, maybe a stretch on the art history passion, but I’ve just watched “Maiden Heist” with Wm H Macy, Christopher Walken and Morgan Freeman…… 3 aging art gallery security guards who are so in love with the art that they conspire to rob the gallery, replacing the originals with counterfeits….. it’s charming.
