Spending Jack's money

Yesterday, Jerry and I took a little trip to Palm Desert and Palm Springs to shop for art and to continue Jerry's birthday celebration. We spent most of the day tramping up and down El Paseo in Palm Desert. After going through almost all of the galleries on the street (skipping some whose windows had only pieces that aren't our style) and having the traditional lunch at Sammy's Woodfired Pizza, we went back to a couple of galleries and picked up some new works.

We got two gourd masks by Dave Sisk at Adagio Galleries.

(I wonder why the light green wall it's on has turned to gray in this picture.)

Espino

(Again, this wall is light yellow. Maybe some more of Jack's money should go to a fancier camera.)

We really like these and Jerry can always be counted on to find the right place to put them.

Jerry will have to tell you about any other art we acquired.

Does anybody know who or what "Espino" is?

Translation from Spanish to English is Hawthorn or Thorn. I'm guessing thorn in this case, but hopefully we can find out from the artist how he wants it translated. It also is a common last name.

Ooops I forgot. There also is a legume sur espino which has yellow flowers that kind of looks like a face.

You guys always pick out the nicest things. Of course, MrBears will find the perfect place for them!

Those are really spectacular pieces! Some day I'm going to get out there and see all your acquisitions in person!
