By now you might realize the FGFAProject went on vacation to Hawaii in February.

While on Kaua'i we meet and exchanged art with a wonderful artist, Dorina San Augustine (read more about her on 2/12/old blog) This is the wonderful necklace that Dornia donated to our Free Art Project in Gig Harbor. Her husband is a Ukulele maker and the large round piece of Koa wood is the leftover from the hole in the Ukulele. The small dark ebony is left over from a fret with a Abalone shell as the turtle. Find this one at Kit's.
While at Kit's be sure to take a peak at that special Mali African garnet.

Another wonderful, new artist this week....Pat is from St. Augustine, Fl. When you touch this one you'll know it is from recycled and repurposed material.....guess what the material is?
Find this at Ebb Tide Gallery.
When in Ebb Tide Gallery be sure to see Sherry's beautiful and functional baskets and Elaine's beautiful artwork. They are the featured artists and probably on hand to talk with.

Water's Edge Gallery and Framery is located just across the street from Ebb Tide Gallery. Stop in Water's Edge for this great art card from Laura Bethke. It is already a great card to give, or perhaps you would rather frame it. More of Laura's work can be found at Ebb Tide.
While in Water's Edge be sure to enjoy the watercolor art of Lola Waller.

Looking for that special mixed media piece of art? Rebecca Westeren takes paint, leaves, twigs and when this artist is finished...it is a one of a kind piece of art. Stop in a Birdnest Gallery and Framing to find Rebecca's FREE art.

Featured at Birdnest Gallery is Sue Baldwin and her pottery...be sure to take a look.

Many people believe that frogs are a good omen representing happiness and great friendships. This frog is an original sumi painting by Darlene Dihel. You can find this one at For Art Sake. You could turn it into a card for someone who needs a little lift, you could frame it...you will admire it!
While at For Art Sake Gallery, please enjoy the art of Paul Burton, working in pastels and charcoal.
"If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong, I am invincible, I am Woman" with great girlfriends.

Artist of the Week

Meet Sherri Bails. You will find Sherri's "Colors of my Life" watercolors being exhibited at Morso Wine through March 2011. Sherri is a member of the Women Painters of Washington; Seattle CoArt; American Watercolor Society; and earned status as a Signature Member of the Northwest Watercolor Society.

"My love of clean, clear color and the inherent challenge of the media have kept me at a fascination level since 1985. Each brushstroke of color rekindles my fascination with it."

Come and see contemporary watercolor; lots of color, water and bubbles. Lots of fun. www.sherribails.com
