White County woodartists exhibit at Searcy Art Gallery

I blogged about the very creative invitation that I received to the Preview Party of woodartists Tim Hogan, Robert Miller, Sheila Skinner and Paul Pitt.

I attended the event last night, Thursday January 15, 2009. The artists had brought out lots of their works for exhibit or purchase. I snapped a few pictures to share on activerain.

This first picture shows work by Paul Pitt who is a professor at Harding University and does magnificent clay products and carved flutes. His picture is shown on the table in a frame. When I attended Harding University he was my ceramics' teacher. If you've ever tried to throw a pot on a potters' wheel, you'll appreciate a nice pot a whole lot more. It's not easy.

This picture shows Dr. Robert Miller, retired dentist, who can devote all his time to his greater love, wood artistry. He had a long successful career as a dentist, my dentist in fact, and painted and did art work on the side until he retired about two years ago. His carved items are beautiful. I bought one of his bowls!

A photograph shows artist Tim Hogan who is standing beside some of his wood art creations. This was my first time to meet Tim Hogan but I was very impressed with his art work. The last picture shows more of his art work. Look at the cowboy hats! Imagine carving a cowboy hat out of wood!

It was a successful night. We have a lot of very creative artists in our little city of Searcy Arkansas and our large county of White. Drop by the Searcy Art Gallery and view the exhibit.
