December 27th 2014 - Celebrating Stu and Greta Eichels Anniversary! An astonishing afternoon!!

I always say Life is a astonishing journey. Yesterday I went to see  the All Member  Art Show at Saratoga Arts,  when it was quieter. (Thanks to all of you that came to the opening reception on December 5, 2014, at my invite!) While at the gallery,  I was explaining to JT the original shoot location in New Mexico of my fine art print,  "Queen of the Red Hat Society," that is on display there, when another woman stopped to listen. She said she and her husband had just found an old photo album from New Mexico.   Come to find out she was a graduate of Pratt Art Institute, as was her husband, who was a painter, and that he had work hanging in  the show. I inquired as to who he was, and she said "Stu Eichel." I know Stu's work, and have admired his style  for a long time. He has painted almost every town, old abandon tractor, automobile, town scape, and building in his area!!! Greta is an artist in her own right, (graphic arts,) and has a book coming out called "Trashing Stu," on AMAZON, and also  operates as publicity manager for Stu! (Nice!)  She then invited us to come to her lovely town home at Interlaken, which was filled with art, both Stu's and her graphic design art, along with other artists they admired. The art they have aquired is amazing, quirky,  entertaining, and / or astonishing in its beauty. Every room in the house is filled with art work, and Stu is lucky enought to have a studio basement where he can create. Both Greta and Stu then  invited us to have dinner at Harvest and Hearth on Fish Creek, and upon  Gretas advise, I ordered the best butternut squash soup ever!!! And the wood fired  pizza!!! I also was told she had arranged to have Stu's work put up in this restaurant, as the house artist!!!  His work glowed on their beautifully  colored walls. Stu and Greta  then shared with us  that  they were glad we came along, as they were celebrating their 58th wedding anniversary that day!!!  All I can say is Thank-you Stu and Greta, for an astonidshing afternoon! It was a priveledge to be invited into your lives. See you Soon!
