Maggie Mailer is a Sunny Angel

There is a local artist around these parts who we just love and adore. Maggie Mailer – and she just had an exhibit open Saturday night at the Ferrin Gallery in Pittsfield, Ma.
So, I’m walking around admiring the colors, the mood of these pieces – I ain’t no art critic, but I really dug these paintings. There’s just this classic quality – but a modern spin. And the colors. And the strokes on these puppies….
And then I saw this:
Hey!!!!!!
I know that guy!!!!!
Mitch bought a bunch of these little beasts called Sonny Angels from some wholesaler at a tradeshow in Dallas? I think he said Dallas - do you know them? They’re always in the office ready to be presented to just the right person at just the right time. Once, he gave one to me….and then I gave it to Maggie…and there it was!!
Here’s the one that inspired the work of art – see below on the box (Frog Girl). These are all in blind boxes so you don’t know which one you’re getting until you rip it open.
You can try your luck and purchase one of these lil’ cupie dolls on Amazon, or just buy one of Maggie’s paintings. I’d shoot for the latter – but wouldn’t you know it, that one had a red dot next to it.
