Rod's wall

In the left annex. There are two additional paintings in the back annex.

Rod will have a 3x5" postcard size acrylic painting in the fund-raiser for Ross Creek. For details click link at right.

This is the largest space at the MOXIE

The wall seen previously is now at the left and out of view. Two small annex rooms at the rear of the building and behind the woman with the red blouse house Rod Mackay's paintings. They were far too small to show well in the largest space which is filled with proportionate works.

Players in the little drama seen below

Also appeared at the The Great Scarecrow Festival & Antique Fair which was held again this year at Mahone Bay, Friday September 28, to Sunday September 30, 2007. Residents and businesses alike take part in The Great Scarecrow Challenge. There were scary stories at The Biscuit Eater Cafe & Books on Orchard Street and 150 lighted pumpkins to grace the nights. There was also a huge assembly of antique and classic cars and a showing of modern muscle cars. Three separate antique shows, lots of live music and a wine tasting event helped to swell the population far beyond that of the 900 or so souls who ordinarily haunt these streets. A true local success story.

The scarecrows are on hand for interviews until Hallowe'en. We will eventually post some of these to our regular web site. This small format does not do them justice.

Mr Blackbeard

has had to retain the services of a lawyer but has influencial friends.

Art Critics

just can't keep their distance from gallery openings like that at the Moxie in Bridgewater. Most were very sweet or at least uncommunicative. This fellow proved an annoyance to some of the other guest and Blackbeard took him in hand as we see here.

At every cultural event

There are individuals who turn out for the wine and cheese.

Local visitors to the Moxie Gallery

Culture is not just the province of the rich and famous...Note the unsual mode of transportation?

The opening of the Moxie Gallery

would have been much less a success except for the efforts of this gentleman.

There was even...

an Elvis spotting....

Pavorrati

quite naturally declined his invitation to entertain at the opening of the Moxie Gallery in Bridgewater

Also on hand for the Moxie opening was

this crowd pleaser

Mick

provided some of the music for the evening

Drinks were served by Jim Carey


who is also having some trouble with disassociation

Depp was able to exchange ideas with


this fellow, a gatecrasher.

Johnny Depp

was much more at ease in this sophisticated surround of people.

A couple of more prominent British visitors

for Carmel's opening

Peter Pan and Wendy

also flew in from Britain but found the adult company a bit much.

THis fellow dropped by late in the evening

but didn't stay for canapes.

Seen at the opening of Moxie

the new art gallery in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Four prominent Brits managed to break away from less pressing duties to be in attendence.
