Our Pick of Pics/Memorial Exhibit For George McCormick

Tonight, we celebrated the life and work of George Ray McCormick Sr. Come take the journey through his work with me.

The never-before-exhibited rooster series, and many dolls...

More details on the dolls...

Some of George's woodcut prints...

The famous coconut bug...

Even more prints...

There were seriously, a lot of people in The Jazz Gallery tonight...

Evelyn had a few words about George, and others read poems...

Darryl Jensen, our VP, made this (gorgeous) limited addition print of George from the photo a few posts below...

Evelyn, and George's son very much appreciated it...
