And one last time to see the jFerarri Gallery in full dress. Photos taken by Jazmin Ferarri:

The three not home yet.

The three in the box>

And Now a HAPPY ENDING!!!

After spending time suffering about where the Pasadena Man painting got to, this is what happened. I had the wrong address on the box (s) to Lauren. One mis-addressed box was sent back to Midge who repacked and sent it on to Lauren. I was getting ready to make a claim for the lost package, when Lauren got her box and the three paintings were all in the same large shipping box and no one knew it until Lauren opened her box. Here's what she said:

Hi Beady darling! Just checking in to let you know that we have not
received the paintings yet (my parents DID get theirs, though).
Anyway, if you want to give me a tracking number, I can take care of
the rest.
Love you!! Lauren

and then

Bea - great news!! The box arrived today. I got home only in time to
cook dinner, and haven't opened it yet - but it's a big 'mo-fo' box!
YEA! Love you guys, Lauren

and then

Bea, I opened the box this morning, and there were three paintings. I
don't think there are anymore, are there??? In other words, there
shouldn't be anymore boxes. Then again, I may have lost my mind.

and then

Pasadena Man is safe and happy, back in Chattanooga. I love my Bea
Gold paintings. Still possible to comission a 'Max Heaven?'

Was there ev er another box?

Anyway HOORAY, I think they are almost all back to their rightful owners. I still have Rhea's and Giovanna's. Mandy's is at Midge's.

Here is my favorite photo of the whole Retrospective. It is what I wanted to happen!

Just a few more pictures to finish up the party and to get on with life. May is almost over and the party ended on April 28th! The party is really over and I am sad. I sent 22 packages out of paintings to get back to their owners. One, Pasadena Man owned by Lauren and Ken Hunt is lost. I am still hoping it will turn up. The show lasted just three weeks and all in all it was wonderful but not long enough. I know it can not happen again in the same way and I have to be happy with what did happen and not be concerned for what didn't happen. It was terrific and I want to thank everyone who lent me their paintings and who were so gracious throughout. We sold quite a lot of work, 2 paintings and several woodcuts. I hope you all enjoy them and come back for more! I have four commisions requested. One, I have started on and I'll let you know when the others come about. I'll post them for you to see.

Thank you again for a wonderful birthday.
