Colorblind – The Paintings of Aaron Sutton

Colorblind – The Paintings of Aaron Sutton

The Blue Giraffe is proud to present colorblind artist, Aaron Sutton’s new series of ocean themed paintings honoring his Grandfather, Clophas Sutton (1925-2012) who served in the U.S. Navy during WW2. In each painting, Aaron struggles to discover the emotion of color in the ocean as he sees it in his own eyes and feels it in his soul. Now on display in our gallery and at The WaterColor Inn & Resort … you will  need to see this collection by the gifted, local 30A artist, Aaron Sutton to appreciate the size, depth and beauty of each piece!

Gratitude

Gratitude

November is a special time to appreciate life’s everyday abundance. We offer inspiring gifts and easy tips that will bring the spirit of Thanksgiving into your home:

• Start a journal. Make it a point to spend a few minutes each day writing down the things you are thankful for. The Write Now Journal: “In everything, give thanks” provides dozens of lined pages and thoughtful quotes to help you count your blessings.

• Say “Thank You.” Thank your spouse, friend, neighbor, or waitress. Be sincere and specific. Too often we let the opportunity to express our appreciation pass.

• Give a little gift. Thanks a Bunch is a thoughtful way to express your appreciation to the special people in you life. Personalize the gift book with a note.

• Share your gratitude. Openly acknowledge life’s abundances. Tell friends and family. Gratitude is contagious so don’t be surprised if others adopt your thankful spirit.

The Blue Giraffe invites customers to pick up a gift and think of the meaningful ways they can stay grateful this Thanksgiving.
