support more arts, k?
wendyFirst of all I’d like to point out the obvious. I’m back. Just when you thought that the departure of Kate meant that the crazy lefty chicks were all gone. Nope. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Wendy Boucher (pronounced Boo-Shay’) and I’m an author and artist and blogger. I am 72 percent right-brained, according to an online test that can’t be far off. The right side is the visual, figurative, artistic, and intuitive side of the brain. But I’m good at math, too.
Friday night I attended an art reception at the Lyssa Morgan Gallery that benefitted Alpha House. It was fun, of course, but better still is the exhibit. It’s called The Square Foot Show because ALL the pieces are 12” by 12”. With smaller pieces come smaller prices and you have choices from over 300 works of art. It’s a superb opportunity to own an original piece of art by an artist that you love. More than 200 artists contributed to the show from all over the globe but many of your favorite local artists are on display too. The exhibit will continue through mid-July at Lyssa Morgan Gallery, 4062 Henderson Blvd, Tampa.
You can read about the Square Foot Show in the Tampa Tribune.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I have a piece in the exhibit called, Beauty Requires No Bombs. BUT, my piece already sold so this is not about getting you to purchase a Wendy Boucher original. At least not that one. Yet.

oh, so thats what that huge crowd and ton of cars was all about! ive never seen so many people at that gallery before. i think there is a mkt for local art that is finely produced and well priced. but too much of what ive seen around town looks a bit rough to my eye. i mean it often appears that the artist hasnt really put a lot of work into it, and then just plopped on some ridiculous price tag.
