Women in the Trossachs

Last night we had a lovely evening with the Women in the Trossachs group, who came along to hear a bit about the gallery.
It was a nice opportunity to mingle and get some chat with like-minded women living and working in the area. Check out thir website at http://www.womeninthetrossachs.org.uk

I even made some mini pizzas for the occassion (which I think I ate most of! Yummy!).

Michael Kay Jewellery

Had a lovely chat with Michael Kay yesterday who was down with some new work. This little gold ring with a cubic zirconia is my absolute favourite piece of jewellery of all time.

I love it! I don't think it'll be on display for much longer as I may well snap it up for myself!
Michael's rule of thumb is that no two pieces he makes will be the same. It always makes for a delightful surprise when he brings work in.

This amethyst and moonstone choker (trillium) is lovely too - almost like angel wings. Good job Michael! You can see all of Michael's pieces at www.gallerialuti.co.uk or on our facebook page.

Scottish Gallery Guide: Peter Luti

Check out the new Scottish Gallery Guide supplement from Uptown Magazine at http://issuu.com/uptownmagazine/docs/scottish_gallery_guide_2010
You might just recognise the painting on the top right hand cover. Excellent choice of them, if I do say so myself.

L'Arte per la Primavera (Spring) Exhibition is Open

The Spring Exhibition is now open with some absolutely cracking pieces on show.
We've had a fairly busy time already this morning and the sun seems to have brought out the troops. Hoorah.
We welcome new artist Rob Mulholland (bowls piectured above), whose work looks fabulous!
Spring has definitely 'sprung' up a promising start to the exhibition. Long may it continue!

Spring Exhibition - Deborah Phillips

Deborah Phillips popped in at the weekend to deliver new work for the Spring exhibition. It's always so lovely to see her, and the new paintings are fab which is a bonus!
I particularly love these four long, thin ones. They look smashing together. As always Deborah's distinctly recognisable style catches the light perfectly - helped only by the fact that today is gloriously sunny. Long may it continue!!!Still trying to figure out the technical side of the Gallery's facebook page. All new work that's in the gallery have images on the page. Try a search for 'Galleria Luti' at www.facebook.com and hopefully you will find it!

Spring Exhibition preparations & Peter Luti

This week is delivery week... always an exciting time! The week before a new exhibition is generally our busiest with artists coming and going and new work being hung. Here's a wee sneak preview of some of dad's paintings that will be on show.
Hopefully this week I'll get some time to pop up some other images of new work too. I have made a facebook page for the gallery too, where I'll be updating images of paintings when they arrive at the gallery. It's easy to find (I think), just type 'Galleria Luti' into the Facebook search box and it should come up.

February 2010

Marsha is back from Canada. She skied while she was there. Since then she has become an Aunt to a baby girl, I now have two grandchildren and Marsh and I have skied at X-sport at Braehead. This was to see if I still had any skill, stamina, strength to ski when I go to see Peita, Andrew and the babbies. 3 hours of ski-ing have prompted us to spend a couple of days at Glencoe this coming week.

The gallery will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for the rest of February.

Let it snow ...........

Nobody about and who can blame him/her.

Marsha and I are both making plans for separate trips to Canada before the winter is out. This is to visit Luti / Stevenson family members, soon to be increased in number by one. Next exhibition is at the beginning of March 2010 for all who enter the Blog page.

December 2009

Not long now until Christmas.

I had a brainwave of an idea for a unique Christmas present for my sister. I contacted Brian Petrie, painter, cartoonist, (http://www.tooncentre.com/) and he has come up with a fantastic caricature of her as portrait painter and cat lover. All he needed were a few good photographs of my sis. and voila, a great present. I feel pretty safe that she won't see this as she doesn't do computers.

Have a very good Christmas and Happy New Year.
