Dear Bill,
We really, really miss you. This is what you are missing.
You are being honored at the 44th Annual Tom Peyton Memorial Arts Festival on Friday in Alexandria, Louisiana. Jack and I will be there.
AND
You are being honored with an art display at the VIP Lounge at Jazz Fest 2010; this will be our last year at Jazz Fest.
AND
You are being honored by the third graders at Eastside Elementary School in Hammond who painted on found objects with house paint and dedicated a Hemmerling wall in their school.
AND
Kelly Apetrei brought flowers today in honor of your birthday
AND
Your birthday surprise is your new Hemmerling Gallery at 733 Royal Street.
Tonight, we are celebrating your birthday at the new gallery with food, wine and your favorite, Strawberry Shortcake. We will pray blessings on our new space.
Guess what? Garin and Emily are having a baby; we’ll find out tonight whether it’s a girl or boy.
Muffin is doing great! She loves meeting all the new people who come to visit the gallery. She even celebrated the Saints Superbowl victory in her Saints jersey! Kallen is taking such good care of her.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL HEMMERLING! WE LOVE YOU!
Carol, aka “George”, Jack, Kallen, Angela, & Kayla
Saints Mania is Everywhere!
Even Muffin, Bill Hemmerling’s precious dog, is feeling the spirit of the New Orleans Saints. This original artwork was painted by the late Bill Hemmerling and made into a giclee, then overpainted by Hemmerling apprentice Kallen Siekkinen.
There are only 200 signed, numbered, collectible giclees on watercolor paper selling for $50 (11×14 on 13×16 paper) and $100 (22×17 on 25×20 paper) and only 20 canvas giclees for $625 (22×28 framed on stretcher bars). The canvas giclees have been artist enhanced and signed by Kallen & Muffin.
They will be available for pick up on Saturday at both locations, Magazine St and Ponchatoula. Or, we can ship them next week.
