the Nichols and my darlin' bride

two photo from the weekend. Beth and Fred Nichols, each photographed in one of their venues - Beth is posed in their Annex, which is a beautiful colonial home, filled but well placed with art from Beth's repped artists. Fred was in full effect with walk-in visitors (ourselves included) in the working studio's gallery. They're a wonderful team, each is engaging and a wealth of information and laughter. We had a great visit... all too short. If you get down the east side of the Blue Ridge, anywhere between Culpepper and Charlottesville... hunt out the little town of Bourborsville. They have a bunch of Vineyards and horsey farms around, so it's a beautiful place to get lost. We plan on a timely return. My lovely bride is showing her red streaks in the bright winter sun on the UVA museum steps. Gosh she's pretty.
