We had such a wonderful time. There were 4 artists in our home. Me (LC Neill), my husband Brian Neill who does fine wood furniture, and Dave and Barbara Ballesty another husband and wife team that are wonderful pottery/ceramic artists. We would like to thank everyone who made it out to see our new work and chat with us. It’s amazing how many new and interesting people we met, albeit in such a short amount of time. Please enjoy these pictures and make sure you get a chance to come by next year!

Goto my facebook page album to get images and descriptions of each photo.

Please email me if you have any questions.
Oh you’ll notice just a few artworks that are not our creations, but they were very difficult to move so they became part of the display.

I have a ton of little objects around my studio. I am intimate with this knowledge after unpacking for what seems to be weeks. Every paint brush, every tube of paint, every pen and pencil. There’s just a lot of “stuff”. The trick is good organizational skills, which apparently I have to force myself to do. Several years ago I was interviewing for a job and they gave me a phone interview with a psychological exam. You know the kind where they fit you into four boxes and determine if you are a good hire based on “known” performers of that position. It was a bit nerve wracking at first, but I’ve done several of them since and I love to see the results and match them up against my own perception. One of the tests came back and said I had terrible organizational skills. I was shocked that they could determine that from a phone conversation, and never was there a direct question about my organizational capabilities – but they were dead on. They wanted to hire me anyway so I guess it wasn’t a deal breaker. Ever since then I’ve been acutely aware of my apparent weakness and compensate by making a direct effort to be organized.

While I was organizing my minutia, I found something intriguing, and this was it: A small container of medium (my own special recipe – ha ha) and a paint brush, balanced in an unnatural way. I thought it made an interesting and dramatic composition.

This painting is sold but if you are interested in something similar please let me know by sending me an email.

Title: “Blow Pop #1″
Medium: Oil on Panel
Dimensions: 7″x5″

This is not the “classic” tootsie pop – it is a blow pop. It’s filled with bubble gum instead of chocolate tootsie roll. A few key indicators to it’s identity are:

  1. the oval shape
  2. the band in the middle runs perpendicular to the stick
  3. the bright intense color

These pops were originally manufactured by The Charms Company but in 1988 was acquired by Tootsie Roll Industries. I guess they bought out their competition!

This painting is sold.
