| Suzanne O'Neal Opens Show at Gardiner's Resort |
| Suzanne O'Neal opened a show of her latest work at Gardiner's Resort. The show will run until July and, although many pieces have been sold, it is well worth a visit to Gardiner's to see Suzanne's latest and greatest. Gardiner's is at 114 East Carmel Valley Rd., Carmel Valley; their phone number is 659-2207. The clubhouse, where the paintings are exhibited, is usually open during the day. |

| Johnny Apodaca |
| Johnny Apodaca has gone "big" - really big. He has favored us with some splendid new oils and landscapes that fairly sing with color and energy.
One floral, at 54x72, may be our largest still life ever. In a gesture to his plein air past, Johnny also has done several profound, yet modestly sized, studies of local venues. |
|
| Ann Walbert: Gone, But Still With Us |
| The rumors are true. Ann Walbert has moved to Friday Harbor, WA, in the San Juan Islands. However, she has promised that we will continue to receive new work of hers and that we will actually see more of her, now that she has her studio in the Great Northwest. When she is in Carmel, she won't feel obliged to be painting the entire time. |
|
| Christine Johnson's Mixed Media |
| Although Christine Johnson's grand opening is behind us, we still have some of her splendid work depicting scenes of San Francisco. |
|
| Barry John Raybould News |
| There have been several confirmed sightings of Barry John Raybould (BJR), three by a member of the LyonsHead team. When we last left off the BJR saga, he was living the life of an upper bohemian in Venice. Now he has a pied a terre in Italy (actually a collapsed villa he is rebuilding), Panama (a clean, well lighted home overlooking the Atlantic) and Robles del Rio in Carmel Valley (a studio at the home of his sister-in-law. BJR left some grand pieces with us; his treatment of the drama of skies is exhilarating. |
|
| Dick Crispo's Paintings Enthusiastically Received |
| To the surprise of no one, Dick Crispo's work has been joyfully received by visitors at LyonsHead. Sales have been brisk, yet Dick has managed to keep pace, bringing in new pieces regularly. With all of his teaching obligations, it's little wonder that Dick is always in a hurry. We are grateful he makes time to create new paintings so well. |

| S. C. Yuan Originals for Everyone |
| For those of us who gaze in wonder and longing at original S.C. Yuan oils, but somehow just can't find how to fit a purchase of one into the family budget, there is good news. Rae Yuan, daughter of S. C. Yuan and friend of LyonsHead, has provided us with several gorgeous (and beautifully framed) original sketches done by her father. These are not only marvelous to behold, but they give much insight into the integrity of line and form that underpins all of his work. The prices? You can have an original S. C. Yuan for less than the cost of a weekend excursion to Fresno. Each sketch includes a certificate of authenticity bearing the unique estate number. |
|
| Walter Georis - "Back to the Easel" |
| Walter Georis has returned to his easel and is painting some spectacular new works. He has recently added two paintings to his body of work at LyonsHead - a very fine still life and a large canvas depicting a horse and rider. Both are "must see" paintings. To those many people who have asked how Walter finds the time to excel as a vintner, architectural designer, restaurateur and artist, we finally have the definitive answer: "We haven't a clue." |
|
| Fred Carvell Acclaimed for Carmel Art Association Show(s) |
| Anyone who can correctly cite the number of shows Fred Carvell has had at the Carmel Art Association will receive a 5% discount on any of Fred's work on exhibit at LyonsHead. This offer is good through the end of February, 2005. Hint: The number is greater than 3. So, if have an unsatisfied yearning to own an original Carvell, or just want to know what the excitement is about, we can help. |
|
| To Frame Or Not To Frame? |
| We are often asked about how paintings at LyonsHead are selected fro framing - and who makes the choice of frame. The answer is fairly straightforward: The artists themselves elect whether and how to frame their pieces. For those pieces that are unframed, we can help with guiding you to good framers. If you see a framed piece that you would like to frame differently, we're happy to call the artist on your behalf to work out an arrangement. |
|
| Mark Farina's Versatility On Display |
| Mark's array of work at LyonsHead, from figures to still life to pleine aire scenes, rendered in media from watercolor to oil, show his astounding versatility. Always in demand as an instructor, his own paintings attest to the depth of his ability and his willingness to explore different subjects and media. In addition to teaching, Mark is a member of the Carmel Art Association. Recent distinctions include being honored by the California Watercolor Society and the Academic Artist National Exhibition (the latter was held in Springlfield, Mass.). |

| Sukhi Dail Returns From European Tour |
| Sukhi has just returned from his Grand Tour of Europe. His gallery managers in Paris, Brussels and Berlin all enthused over his new enameled bronze sculptures. This is supposed to be confidential, yet delight compels us to report that Suhki's pieces are selling in Europe, to serious collectors, for 6000 euros and up. We, ahem, have a different price - please call for any details on his work. |
|
| Certificate Of Authenticity For S. C. Yuan's Works |
| Works held by the estate of S.C. Yuan are represented by Lyonshead. Each piece is sold with a certificate of authenticity signed and sealed by Yuan's daughter. Some selected works have been chosen for giclee fine art prints, enabling everyone to enjoy this artist's extraordinary work. See our Giclee Print page to view some of the images. |
