Lifestyles by Darrell Bell Gallery will be open in two days! Of the nine paintings they have of mine, this is one of my personal favorites. I like how it turned out, but also attached to it is a really nice memory. The Grey Owl Howl is a family dance that takes place at the Community Hall in Waskesiu every August long-weekend and this past summer my cousin and her family were there. My kids adore hers, who are younger, and it was fun to see them together. It had been a beautiful day at the beach and the evening was so calm and pretty, but still warm... extra warm in the dance hall! We stepped outside to cool down and we were greeted by this glorious sunset that was sparkling between the pine trees. So inspiring. It begged to be be a painting, and so it is!

This is something to see, Nicki! No wonder it's one of your personal favorites... I love how personal moments attach themselves to our work. Every time you view this piece from now on you'll relive that weekend.

Thank you sir! I always appreciate enthusiastic comments from you! I'm thrilled you like this one. I am visualizing it in a larger format- maybe someday I'll do that. And yes, when I look at it I can feel the air, hear the sounds and picture my kids on that night.
If you do it in a larger format Nicki please give me a call. I would be VERY interested. It is a dream of mine to have one of your pieces. Candace
Hi Candace,
Wow, thank you! I will let you know if this one (or a version of it) goes larger. Thanks!
Nicki
