THREE GUARDIAN ANGELS

Angels are not just around Christmas time! Our guardian angels are always available and loving. With this painting I launched " An Angel A Day "....this was Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday.... the ultimate goal is at least 365! This is 24x36 acrylic on canvas. by Gigi Hackford

GOOD FOR THE HEART

Original Acrylic by Gigi

While painting these grapes I noticed that the composition looked like a heart...and because grapes are really heart healthy...voila! came the title
"Good For The Heart"...(15x30)...

Fairhope Among Best 25 Places To Retire

by WKRG Staff / Money Magazine
FAIRHOPE, Alabama - Money Magazine named Fairhope one of the best 25 places to retire.
"This peaceful, pedestrian-friendly town on the shores of Mobile Bay has long drawn artists attracted to the small town ambiance and prevalence of local galleries and studios for displaying their work. The galleries pepper downtown streets along the waterfront, alongside more than 80 antique shops, small boutiques and locally owned restaurants. The first Friday of each month, the Eastern Shore Arts Center and Fairhope Visitors Center host an arts walk, and visitors can meet the artists and enjoy live music, drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Each March, the town welcomes more than 150,000 visitors to its three-day Arts & Crafts Festival.

Fairhope offers plenty of recreational opportunities aside from artistic pursuits and shopping. Residents enjoy fishing off the pier or boating and kayaking in the bay. There are two golf courses in town and paths for biking and jogging.

For urban amenities, residents can make the half-hour jaunt to Mobile. But they don't need to leave for health care: Thomas Hospital is located within Fairhope. --B.B."
