It's always a surprise to see what Butch Anthony unpacks from his full-to-the-brim truck. You never know what treasures he has created from the detritus of past lives. The Bone Show is stocked with re-purposed art, furniture, sculptures, chandeliers, and more curiosities than you can shake a jawbone at! Hope you can visit. Show dates are January 28 - February 27, 2011.
With sadness, we share the news that Butch's friend and fowl, Bob Ross, died in his sleep today.
Born in 1990, Bob Ross was by all accounts the oldest chicken in the world. And no doubt, the only mind reading chicken who traveled to art festivals from New York to California.
Bob was a show chicken, a White Crested Black Polish and he will be dearly missed.
The painting of Bob that Butch brought for the Straw into Gold show is a humorous portrait and will be a lasting tribute to a unique bird.
When a Jacksonville Beach couple visited the gallery and spied the little black doggie in our front window, they knew he would be going home with them! "Blackie" (above on the left) fits right in with their trio of Scotties. Artist Theresa Disney sculpts in paper mache and imbues each one of her creations with a sense of humor and heart. "Blackie" tugged on the heartstrings of Nancy and Greg. When they saw this little fella, he reminded them of Jonah, their very special two year old.
Nancy says that Jonah was the seventh of eight pups and was born lame. When he was rejected by his mother, they adopted him. He doesn't let his injury slow him down. On their morning walks, Jonah keeps up just fine with a sideways hop.
