Baba paintings
In case you don't know what a "Baba" is - in may European languages, a Baba is a Grandmother. I see fewer and fewer "Babas" as I get older. Babas used to frequent the West Side Market and wander around the Tremont area. My own Baba died shortly after I was born (she was actually my Great Grandmother.)The painter: Maria Kovalenko Leysens happens to be my cousin. She was born at Grace Hospital on W. 14th Street. Her Baba lived on Kenilworth. Maria's Mother and Father lived in a house behind Baba's - which now happens to be next door to the Visible Voice Book Store. Maria's family moved out of the Tremont area, (back then it was known as "the South Side") in the early 60's.
The painting above is watercolor.

2010 - Friday, June 18th seems to be the perfect day to celebrate . . . so that's what we are going to do. The Flip Side Band will play (indoors or out, weather dependent). Refreshments will be served. See you then!!!

Gallery Reviews

I can't say thank you enough for your correspondence regarding the guitars.
I truly think James was more than pleased with his choice.
I was so happy that he was totally surprised and he genuinely loved it.
Your kindness and patience while he was strumming away was so appreciated.
He seems very happy with his decision and maybe I've started him on a new collection!
It meant so much to me to be able to come up with such a gift for him.
He has been a very special part of my life in the past 7 months and has given me so much,
it was nice for me to be able to give something special back to him.
Your gallery was truly amazing and having an art background myself, I so appreciated the fine quality and craftsmanship of your inventory. I wish you much continued success and I hope to see you again when we participate in the art walks in the near future.
My warmest regards....
