Butterfield Garage Exhibition Sept.02,2011

The dynamic duo of Kathryn Carlyle and Cheryl Gibbs were on hand last Friday night, September 02, 2011 to open their collaborative exhibit of unique “Wearable Art Jewelry” and coordinated wall paintings at the very popular Butterfield Garage Art Gallery in St. Augustine,Florida.

The opening night event was well received and widely attended by art critics, patrons and local media alike. The artists were both on hand to openly discuss their artistic philosophies that define, yet not constrain their sometimes different approaches to creating a visual and sensual tactile journey of color, touch and emotions.

During the opening, patrons were delightfully treated to a tangible, yet ethereal and philosophical journey. The artists and Gallery so proficiently planned the exhibition to evoke and communicate the Zen balance evident in their collective works. Carlyle Gibbs subtly applied a uniform mix of their talents to create an “out of box” approach towards their art which structure the world as they so passionately perceive.

Always noted for their artistic pallets, the artists painstakingly plan, coordinate and balance a varied cornucopia of colors; that are bold, yet deceivingly delicate. The observer should not be fooled by the sometimes whimsical persona purveyed by the artists. Both Carlyle and Gibbs non-uniformly couple their pallets, with the tangible sensation of touch. The viewer (and in the instance of jewelry) the wearer, is forevermore inspired to relate to, and participate along with the artists’ on their journey of harmony through nature.

Carlyle Gibbs’ work can also be viewed on their web site, www.carlylegibbs.com, or by personally visiting them, at The Arts Arena Gallery inDelray Beach,Florida where they have been artists in residence since is founding in 2006.

The current Butterfield exhibition continues through the end of September 2011. In the upcoming months, the artists are again planning additional St. Augustineand Daytona Beach, Floridaarea art exhibitions. Their complete exhibition schedule is regularly updated and posted to their blog, www.CarlyleGibbs.wordpress.com.

Courage

You’re a 19 year old kid. You’re critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam .

It’s November 11, 1967.
LZ (landing zone) X-ray.

Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.

You’re lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you’re not getting out.
Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you’ll never see them again.

As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.

Then – over the machine gun noise – you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter.
You look up to see a Huey coming in. But … It doesn’t seem real because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.

Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you.

He’s not Medi-Vac so it’s not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he’s flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.

Even after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.
He’s coming anyway.

And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board.
Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety.

And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!! Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm.

He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey.

Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise , Idaho .

May God Rest His Soul.

I bet you didn’t hear about this hero’s passing, but we’ve sure seen a whole bunch about Michael Jackson and Tiger Woods.

Medal of Honor Winner
Captain Ed Freeman

Shame on the American media !!!

Now … YOU pass this along on YOUR mailing list.

Please.
