I met a lady who owns an antique/fine art gallery on Nantucket.  She thinks my stuff will sell like mad there, so I am sending her off today to the island with the first piece.  It’s a 3 foot wide depiction of the island from an 1869 map, with a sperm whale inset.  Nantucket was once the whaling capital of the planet.

Opening reception MAY 5, 2012

This would be awesome!

“The trolley tracks ran through Buckland in the early 20th century. The Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum is hoping get a grant to study running the tracks back down Depot Street.”

Opening the gallery has opened many avenues to create more art…though it was not a great time to open a store, i have managed to survive the downturned economy and the blackhole that was post irene flood shelburne falls. I look forward to a new year of unknown potential. thanks to all who supported me in this endeavor, even if that means walking through the door.

I acquired 2 boulders for the grounds of the gallery…given and installed installed by the kind contractors.

In celebration of Metal Stone’s arrival, the town was kind enough to redo all of the downtown pavement.
