From left to right (or top to bottom) we have: “Blah, Blah, Blah,” “Confessions” (sold), and “Yes, Mam” (sold). The painting, “Yes, Mam,” depicts a wild, young woman. The handwritten “Yes, Mam” collage pieces are from one of Renee’s young tennis players, Harper (a 5 year-old going on 15). The young lady’s mother did not approve of her daughter’s behavior that day during her tennis lesson. The next morning, Renee found an envelope full of sheets of handwritten “Yes, Mams” taped to her office door with an apology from the young player. Renee said, “now, that’s a good mom.” View Renee’s Art JC’s Gourmet Jason and Julie Salinas sponsored Dog-Harmony's 4th Annual Hops for Hounds at the Destin Commons in September. They love our furry family members and believe in supporting non-profits like Dog-Harmony that work to keep dogs out of the shelters through humane education and training. The duo served their Gulf Coast gourmet, which included their smoked Somethin’ Snappy, Poppin’ Pimento cheese and candied Jommin’ Jalapeños. The successful event raised more than $5,000 for Dog-Harmony.
