The Shadow Takes A Fresh Look at Ice Cream Art

The Shadow briefly left the Deborah Tash studio opening to visit another artist and friend -- Kellyann Gilson Lyman -- who has a new solo show entitled "Ice Cream Art -- A Fresh Look".

Kellyann brought out a lot of new work from a new series entitled "Ice Cream Art".  In this series, Kellyann continues to explore abstract coloring with several pieces very pleasing to the eye.

  

  

Some of Kellyann's work on display at the exhibit

The exhibit was curated by Kellyann, who did a wonderful job in putting the exhibit together.  Matt McKinley of McKinley Art Solutions, another good friend of The Shadow, was on hand to give his perspective on Kellyann's work.  (The Shadow will have more on Matt in another entry.)

Providing music at this venue was a wonderful blues/latin/jazz band called Girls Talk Band.  This trio of women were wonderful to listen to and provided quite an ambiance to the afternoon.

Members of Girls Talk Band perform.  Members are (l-r)

Laura Boytz, cello; Valerie Bach, guitar and vocals; Leslie Thorne, double bass

Visitors to the reception received the usual opening food and wine fare, but also received a special treat -- gelato from La Copa Loca.
