MARCH 2007 YEAR FOUR: MEMORIAL FOR OUR FALLEN It was four years ago that U.S. and Allied forces entered into Iraq with hopes to establish an appropriate government there. The price we have been paying for this endeavor is the most extreme of all, brave young lives. Join Don Wesley as he presents the entire series of his memorial canvases depicting a bird for each U.S. soldier who has died in Iraq. There are now four canvases in all, the latest still in progress. For more information about this series of paintings visit Don's studio website at donwesley.com. There will also be new paintings from Don's ongoing series on Starlings and Us. SHOW OPENS FRIDAY MARCH 2 We're open until 11pm as part of the First Friday Artwalk. WE STILL HAVE 2007 PIP CALENDARS The folks at Pip Printing have chosen "Estuary" as the image for their 2007 Artist Calendar. The painting depicts a proud blue heron with a freshly caught sea-run trout, a common scene around the creek-ladened shores of Kitsap County. These tastefully designed 24 x 18 inch calendars are free and can be found at Pip Printing on 711 Pacific Ave in Bremerton or at the Wesley Art Gallery.
