Start bidding on this beautiful little pastel and help feed the hungry!!!
Clematis ~ by Marty Walker
Marty is a popular local Artist. Her favorite mediums are pastels and colored pencils. Mostly because they are simple to use, easily portable and provide a huge color pallet. She strives to make her work lively by employing a wide value range, from light to dark, and by using a lot of colors expressively. You can also see her work at The Side Door Gallery as a part of the Whitmore Lake Portrait Groups' exhibit which runs until April 10th.

Sara's 15 Minutes of Fame
The University of Michigan Basketball Program presents a framed jersey to graduating seniors every year. We always frame the jerseys a - routine fun job. This years jerseys came with some additional excitement. The producers of Big Ten Network's "Journey", a documentary following a senior year of four Big Ten players, asked to come to our shop and film Sara framing Michigan Senior DeShawn Sims' jersey. Tune in Sunday night at 8:00pm to see if Sara made the final cut.

Circle of Art entry number 5
Generous painter, Jill Stefani Wagner, has contributed to all six Circle of Art benefits for Food Gatherers. We really like this little Lake Michigan painting - a deceptively simple piece painted on Yupo paper, a technically challenging process. See this piece as well as Jill's other donation "Florida Cafe" on the newly tweaked Circle of Art website. You can see more of Jill's paintings on her website www.jillwagnerart.com
