RICHMOND —
Eastern Kentucky University’s Giles Gallery is host an art exhibit by painter, EKU alumnus and Richmond native Deward Eades through Feb. 22.
Eades, born in 1927, served in the Marine Corps during World War II, was a high school art teacher for 31 years and has been an artist for 66 years. He now resides in Louisville as a full-time painter and sculptor.
Eades’ technique includes mixing wax directly to pigment to create his ideal paint thickness. “Early in my career as a painter I discovered beeswax in tubes,” he explained. “By adding the wax directly into the pigment I was able to make the color as translucent or as opaque as I desired. I could apply the paint directly to the canvas with great success by using only a palette knife. This procedure has been followed in almost all of my oil paintings.”
Eades’ works address a wide variety of objects and moods, from satisfaction and delight to social awareness and human nature.
He received both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from EKU. Eades also has studied with Yasuo Kuniyoshi at New York City’s Art Student League, with Raoul Anguiano in Mexico City and with Milton Golstein and Lipman Wulf at Adelphi College in New York.
While teaching high school art, Eades was awarded a Fulbright Teaching Fellowship to teach in London, England and spent a sabbatical year in Madrid, Spain.
The Giles Gallery is open to the public and charges no admission. For Gallery hours, call 622-8135.

Peter Perlman — Life lessons from a lawyer’s lawyer
One of the great moments of my life was sitting next to legendary Louisville attorney Frank Haddad at a luncheon when he learned he had received the first Peter Perlman Outstanding Trial Lawyer award from the Kentucky Academy of Trial Lawyers.
As they started his bio, the surprised Frank started crying like a baby. A sudden heart attack took him less than a year later. Winning the Perlman award was the crowning achievement of his career. -
Credit score insanity
Frequently, people stop me and ask me personal finance questions.
The most common is how to improve their credit history score.
If you need to improve your credit score, it means you have lousy credit. Before fixing the score, people need to ask how their credit got so bad to begin with. -

Fresh strawberries at the farmer's market
Hello from Baldwin,
How is everyone’s week going? I hope everyone is having a great one. Well the weather has improved a lot. I have heard the lawn mowers buzzing since the rain stopped for a few of days. Everyone is trying to get their yard mowed and trimmed up before the next rain. Gardeners are out working diligently working the grounds that have finally dried enough to plant things. It has been very difficult on the gardeners with all of the rain to get their gardens planted. Oh, won’t those fresh vegetables taste good. -

It will be a great day to get out and meet your neighbors. Two raffles are underway, one is for a quilt handmade by Mary Sewell. Raffle tickets are available for several prizes including, a 32 inch TV, a Garmin GPS unit and Paula Deen Cookware. See a Ruritan member to purchase tickets.

The sun is going to shine for us
It's another cloudy Tuesday here in Paint Lick, but folks, the sun is going to shine for us all this week, so we can get into our gardens and plow up our fields and just be happy that maybe the rain will stay away, at least for a little while. We have a wonderful breeze out that will soon dry the ground.

I thought I would tell you one of my family stories even though it’s not a Newby story. It seems no matter what part of the country you’re from, a country tale sounds the same.
