Artist Jean Cecil at her installation at David and Linda Wheeler Gallery at The Summit.
Artist statement:"Great things are done when men and mountains meet; this is not done by jostling in the street"---William Blake
Jean Cecil has met mountains and, as Blake imply's, accepted their challenges. A wife, a mother, a professional architect and financial consultant, Jean is now painting and studying--do artist ever stop studying? Her father, a Kentuckian, her mother from Alabama, Jean enjoys, in an obvious and deep sense, the nature around her which flows out of her work as an artist. She had a three month sabbatical in 2006 during which she spent time alone in Costa Rica. I relate. That was when I began a sabbatical and left Los Angeles for my home in Alabama. Her work is vibrant and varied. Her new studies of the human form show amazing potential.
Today her installation benefited 15% to The Alabama Ballet. Call David's Gallery for more information on future exhibitions and to contact Jean. 205-967-0480

After Jean Cecil's show, I went by Apple at The Summit and got a much needed tutorial on my iPhone apps and then raced over to my sister's Susan Gagne to help baby sit my youngest brother's new baby, Brooklyn Marie Scott. It was a glorious time and home before dark to work on my new script and toss off this blog. I do believe I am as happy as I have ever been! Looking forward to seeing a local production of " RENT" this Saturday night. Leave for an appearance in Nashville on the 16th (see the
Appearances page)
