Don't forget!

...don't forget to change the batteries in your smoke detectors, too!

Last night, Mark and I and our friends, Jason and Kim, went to the opening of a gallery show that featured the work of one of our friends, Jenny Elkins.  She is a mixed media artist who creates collage art that features photographs from the late 1800's to the early 1900's.  Jenny's wicked sense of humor is weaved into every piece.  Jenny is a member of G.A.S. (Garage Artist Society) which is a group of artists who work in home studios in their garages.  These are a few photos from last night's show, which also featured her fellow G.A.S. artists.  The show runs through April 24th at the Dean Johnson Gallery in Indy. 

This is a close up of the text from the piece above (I think it was a favorite among last night's gallery visitors:

This piece featured all of the "characters" that are regulars in Jenny's work.  We told Jenny that she needs to write a book about them.  So funny!

This next one is one from my private collection (really, it's the only original art i own, but i thought it would sound a little more prestigious to say "my private collection" :-)

A close up of the paper below the photo reads:

Doesn't that crack you up?  That woman is so serious in the photo.  That piece instantly reminded me of the enormous framed glasses my mom used to wear in the 80's.  I just had to buy it.

Hahahahahahahaha! I can remember those glasses on your mom like it was yesterday!!! I had HUGE red ones back then. I never wore them because they were so ugly. Everyone thought I was a snob because they'd smile at me and I would glare back...it was just cuz I couldn't see them!!!!
