Last night we joined Andrea and Rob Steiner (publishers of TriadLiving Magazine) as guests of Bob Timberlake, the well-known artist out of Lexington, NC. It was his 70th birthday party, and he regaled us with lots of great stories and a personal tour of his gallery. Any time you get one-on-one time with such an accopmlished artist, it is such a treat, because that makes their art all the more meaningful when you hear the stories behind the pieces. You can see Bob's work at www.bobtimberlake.com, or stop by his huge gallery in Lexington.
Bob told us about his studio, which was a barn that was nearly burned to the ground by Union soldiers during the Civil War. It was saved by the lady of the house, who threatened to kill one of the officers if he tried to torch her barn!
