The Water’s Edge Studio and Gallery At The Water’s Edge, artist and gallery owner Gayle Reynolds is moving from palms to oceans in her quest to paint anything relating to those areas where land and water meet. On display will be a number of her newest creations. Rex Reynolds has been busy in his studio shop building tallboy chairs. On his newest tallboys, Rex has been painting them transparent white, which allows the wood grain to show through the paint. With plenty of tallboys completed and now available, Rex is again focusing on his dory boat building. He is still waffling about beginning that new dory. He is wanting to build a dory with a wide transom suitable for a motor, thinking that he would like a replacement for the fishing boat he lost in Hurricane Ike. Another artist exhibiting at Water’s Edge is Pat Moberley Moore
who is showing her bronze sculptures. For her new show she is working to produce a group of clay sculptures of angels. Charles Caillouet has a number of new pieces of pottery in the gallery on display to go along with his carved and painted wooden birds mounted on driftwood. He especially likes to produce stoneware in a chocolate glaze and trail navy through it. Several of his pieces on display are made in this way including a large bowl, a number of tea bowls, and a hand built serving dish. David Michael Brady’s stoneware bowls are not only beautiful
but also excellent for use in the kitchen. Other potters exhibiting at the gallery are Madeleine Baker, and John Whitman. Patricia Gruy has blown glass pieces on display. The Water’s Edge Studio and Gallery is located at 1302 21st
Street at Avenue M and is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Occasionally the gallery is open on Wednesday and Sunday. For more details call 409.762.1925 or visit
