Jerry and I go to Palm Desert to celebrate our birthdays. We spend the day going into the many galleries up and down
El Paseo Drive. We look for good stuff then at the end of the day we go back to any galleries that had pieces that spoke to us to see if they they really want to go home with us.
Adagio Galleries is one whose artists have always appealed to us. It's a rare trip to the desert that we don't come home with something new from Adagio.
Yesterday's was an ordinary trip.
With extraordinary results.
We came home with a new sculpture. It's "Una Poca de Gracia (one must posses a bit of grace)" by
Pokey Park. Here are a couple of pictures of it.
This piece is on her web site but I can't link you directly to it. Her site is completely Flash based so you have to do your own clicking. (Hasn't she read Steve Jobs's
Anti-Flash Manifesto? Flash doesn't work on mobile browsers so I couldn't check it out while I was there.) Go to
her web site, select "Portfolio" then click on the "Goats, Sheep and Rams" link on Page 2. There it is. If you click on any picture you get a larger view of it. You also get a nice, long story about the piece on the right side.
Her work is at
Lumina Gallery north of Taos if you New Mexicans want to have a nice outing to see pieces in person.
We had never heard of Pokey Park. She does turtles, too. Art can be expensive.
Who needs to save for retirement?

Very nice. I like La Bamba and dancing. Happy Birthday, Chuckbert, and I"m glad you had a great day in the desert.
It's lovely! Will you be startled when you get up late at night and find a sheep dancing in your living room.
That sheep must've worked up quite a sweat dancing La Bamba wering all that wool!
Fantastic birthday acquisition. Happy Birthday!
Charming piece! How tall is she?
Happy Birthday!
Ray likes it too
I meant how tall is he? Ram. Duh.
But it would be interesting to know how tall is Pokey Park, too.
Her portfolio says it's 20" tall but it's more like 24".
