LOVE LETTERS

October 26, 2013 Poway California

On October twenty-sixth Barbara appeared with Hal Linden in Love Letters at the Poway Center for the Arts. The two have toured extensively for sell out crowds.

Using the epistolary form sometimes found in novels, they sit side by side at tables and read the notes, letters and cards – in which over nearly 50 years, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats – that have passed between them throughout their separated lives.

Viva Las Vegas!

November 18, 2011

Barbara is seen here with Adam Scott Rote at the unveiling of his portrait of Barbara titled 'Flaming Star.'

 

Sometimes art travels beyond beauty or inspiration and brings the viewer to a place of stillness, of memory recall, and a longing for a time and place that is suffused with sweetness and nostalgia.

 

The Drive In Daze paintings by Adam Scott Rote transports the viewer to long summer nights in spacious cars watching real movie stars in their signature roles. Today, we marvel at the 3D images jumping off the IMAX screen, but nothing replaces great storytelling. And here, Adam is telling the truly American story of those Drive In Daze, and the iconic stars who brought the films to life.
