Art Show Indian Rocks Beach Save Our Cottages Series 9

Villa Gallace at 109 Gulf Blvd., Indian Rocks Beach extend a glowing and heart felt welcome to all who enter their warm and hospitable restaurant.   The music serenaded as the audience mixed, mingled and collected the work of Mary Rose Holmes, Violetta Chandler and Helen Tilston.


The shows continues through April.

Of particular interest is the triptychs, one panel painted by each artist.  Isle of Hope: Isle of Dreams has been voted as the favourite and awaits the rightful owner.  It comes with its own especially composed poem by one of the artists (Helen)

 Isle of Hope: Isle of Dreams
We arose today
To the chirping of curlews
The sounds of the waves
resting our weary souls
The white sandy beach
of Indian Rocks Beach
heals souls, seals wounds
brings the music back to
the heart 
We invite you to sit,
listen and get in rhythm with
the waves lapping by the
shore
