There are days we plan for, and it gets down to the point were we feel like a juggler trying to gracefully keep all our balls in the air and then it happens, "Magic." That's how it was Aug.26, Final Friday.
Presented was the work of Mike Potts, Melissa Mullinax, Abi Johnson, Brian Johnson, Bodie Engel, Joseph Olas and Caleb Bolt. Through the clamor of conversation and interest expressed by our gallery guests, it was evident, all our efforts paid off.
Mike Potts, a live performance artist awed and inspired us. His painting of a portrait of Willie Nelson was created before an admiring audience. All eyes followed his every move as each brush stroke transformed a piece of empty canvas into a work of art, inviting us to witness his creation on a more intimate level. At the end of the exhibition, Willie Nelson's likeness was raffled off. All proceeds went to Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Sedgwick County.
Now, newlywed Tonya Sims was the winner of the drawing. She is a member of Studios United and owner and operator of Shadowbox-Studio. Visit her site at http://shadowbox-studio.com/ She and her husband were in the process of purchasing a new home and were excited to find the perfect spot for her painted portrait of Willie Nelson.

As always, the studio was open for photographers and models to use, introducing another layer of energy.
Studios United shares gallery space with Naked City Magazine, Mead Street Gallery and Steve Murillo Studio, pooling art and talent to creating an enjoyable aesthetic experience on Final Fridays.
