FATHER’S DAY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER
“Seemingly Everlasting” by Barry Graham OAKMAN, AL “Opening up the layers of stories in Barry Graham’s life handily reveals the rich, deep layers of his talent — paintings which thoughtfully encourage feelings and memories, garden art touched with a flair for whimsy, and music that conveys enthusiasm for life. This artist and musician, a man with a gentle soul who walks closely with nature, gratefully and happily shares his gifts.” - Margaret Dabbs/Columnist
