Art Exhibition Opening Reception - Fri, Sept 15 - Valerie Galloway "Watercolors"

[thisrocks at mac.com]

Hi Wayne,
Yes, the period renovation is complete. And you gotta see it - it  
really is unforgettable. Perhaps the best looking Tudor-bungalow in  
Coronado. The raised garden bed and English-style gravel pathway has  
its own fountain. The driveway post lights are a sight to see at  
night; as well as the crystal chandeliers inside the house.

I think the best thing though is how it is helping to revitalize this  
area. I see mothers and their children walking past in the evenings  
and enjoying the lighted fountain and flowers in the front yard. I  
have had neighbors from as far as Cambridge stop by and say what an  
improvement for the community. That's really what this project has  
been about - making a contribution to the city. The Art Exhibition is  
an extension of that - offering cultural diversity and art to the  
citizens. Afterall, the house was built in 1925, and has seen  
everything grow around it. So it was time that it got its own  
makeover so it can look beautiful for another 80 years.

Come over on Friday and I'll show you what we did with the driveway;  
instead of doing concrete, we used paver stone to create a  
rectangular perimeter and used GravelPave2 and pea gravel inside the  
rectangle. It's more environmentally friendly, has low heat  
radiation, and even filters pollutants that could contaminate  
groundwater.

Well, you'll just have to come see the house on Friday along with the  
artwork. The combination is going to be just fantastic!
I attached a small copy of the opening reception postcard.

Thank you Aaron



I hear that your house, which was on the home tour last year is  
complete now, true?  I am anxious to see the inside finishing  
touches, the yard looks wonderful, tropical desert.  East of 16th is  
really coming alive.

Salutations! Here's an Art Gallery Opening Reception to go to!



Blee Studio Gallery presents

Artist Valerie Galloway

"Watercolors"



Opening Reception:

Friday, September 15, 5pm to Midnight



@ Scotscraig

1800 East Monte Vista Road

Phoenix, AZ 85006

(602) 262-BLEE



Ms. Galloway will be in attendance at Friday's opening reception and  
this is her first showing of watercolors.



This is our 2nd gallery showing at Scotscraig, the Tudor Bungalow  
that was in the 2006 Coronado Home Tour. The renovation is complete  
and its time for an art exhibition!



Everyone is welcome. Refreshments will be served.



EXHIBITION

Appreciate the beauty and elegance of the female mystique that Ms.  
Galloway has so beautifully captured. Each piece represents a  
portrait of a woman in a saturated mood showing the darker or  
fanciful side of the feminine psyche - whimsical, pouty,  
unapologetic, curious, lonely, poised, naughty, stylish, mischievous,  
sexy. Drenched in rich colors like crimson, blood-orange, coral or  
emerald, the cosmopolitan women captivate you with their je ne sais  
quoi. These watercolors were often used as studies or sketches for  
her photography. Native to Arizona, artist/photographer Valerie  
Galloway has lived in New York City for the past 10 years and  
recently moved to Tucson. Ms. Galloway will be in attendance.



See you Friday!

Aaron
