Jana’s RedRoom is super excited to present our May show, “Good Enough To Eat” by Paula Billups​. Come in this Preview Thursday to see her eleven small works of fruit and candy. Each painting is 6×6 inches and are so beautifully done you have got to see them in person. Her brush strokes and color are being called “eye candy” no pun intended.
This is going to be a show of epic fruit filled proportions to say the least.

A little about Doug Douglas: Back in the golden Glitz and Glamour days of Vegas, Doug Douglas was known for his elaborately produced, self-contained, beautifully costumed, and meticulously choreographed lounge acts. His very first lounge show, the Apollos, started out with a garage band…with a 15 year old named Lee Greenwood. As author of “God Bless the USA”, Lee later went on to become Country Music’s Performer of the Year. This amazing performer has sold over 17 million albums to date, and has been told the space program was named after his group when they played an Air Force base in Texas!
Since then, Doug has self-produced 36 more shows in Las Vegas, the Playboy circuit, and the west coast. In Manilla, he was a co-producer of the first live album ever recorded in the Pacific Rim… under the WEA record label…with singing star, Amapola. Currently, Doug is the owner of Gravel Gertie Productions, and is utilizing the talents of various tribute artists and DJs to bring a taste of authentic nostalgia to a new generation of lounge-goers.

So come and get your candy on with us this Preview Thursday on April 30th!…and please don’t eat the art.

A little about what we do at Jana’s RedRoom:

The RedRoom is where all kinds of walks of life can come together to share in something special. A place where you can truly be yourself, a place where you can find yourself. It’s about shining a light on the local artists of Las Vegas…about feeling that sense of community that can sometimes be muffled by living in a big city. As we always say here at the RedRoom, we treat everyone like family, and we genuinely mean it.

Another really cool thing we offer at Jana’s RedRoom Salon Gallery is your choice of over 200 artists who would be honored to make any special piece of original art just for you.

This is going to be a show of epic fruit filled proportions to say the least. Don’t miss this beautiful solo show for the month of May. Come and get your candy on with us!

In the exhibit “Good Enough to Eat,” Paula indulges her affection for small, sweet things. Candy and oranges appeal to her sense of ephemeral pleasures and are meant for the delight of the viewer. Of course, one can also see in the candies and fruits small relationships and personalities. She works entirely from life and direct observation, using direct painting methods.

∼JANA says “get your taste of these amazing lil yummies”!
