Bon Voyage

Got some information today about an art sale that will be occurring next Saturday, June 9. Here's the info:

"A sale of Carol Ann Rose’s paintings and art supplies will be held on Saturday, June 9th from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. at A Carolina Gallery on Bush River Road. There are many wonderful original paintings, art books, prints, paints, frames, papers, and miscellaneous art supplies for sale. There’s something for everyone. Hope you can make it."

Of course there's more to it than this. Carol Ann was the owner of A Carolina Gallery, and she passed away a few months ago. I was not privileged to know her personally, but from all accounts she was a dedicated and gifted artist. It is sad when anyone leaves the realm that we mortals know, but when a fellow artist goes it seems the loss is a bit deeper. An artistic voice stilled. It is a comfort to know you could acquire something she created, that she may continue to speak. And I've read that what she would say is "Don't Worry, Be happy!"
