The Painted Cow Gallery and Lawrence County Arts Council are featuring a very special art exhibit
"Show the Love" 
Local artist Jean "Sally" Salyers lives in Blaine Kentucky with her husband Bill.
Both are well known artists in the area for many years,
prior to the opening of the gallery 4 1/2 years ago they have showcased and sold their artwork at
Lawrence County Arts Council sponsored festival events since 1999.   
Sally's medium of choice was oils and acrylics many times she mixed the two together.
Her favorite subject matter were either big colorful flowers or lovely landscapes,
 which she had received many awards and was well collected for.
Due to health issues Sally has been unable to produce any new paintings
and since Bill is her primary care giver he too has not been painting.  
This exhibit offers you the buyer a unique opportunity to purchase
some beautiful artwork from note cards to one of a kind canvases
in oil and or acrylics as a fundraiser to help the Salyers defray
some of their medical bills.
Show the Love!
