1 hrow a tnbufe to Bay artist
Sales to benefit Hope Haven shelter for children
By NAN PATTON EHRBRIGHT
THE SUN HERALD
BAY ST. LOUIS ? Henry Gonzales died before he could fully enjoy the fruits of one of his last artistic endeavors. But he did see the first Bay St. Louis woven throw produced from his drawings.
?Tm so glad,? his widow, Yvette Gonzales, said last week. ?He was as pleased as he could be with it. It captures the whole thing ? everything is typical Bay St. Louis.?
The city,,commissioned the throw, but proceeds from its sale will support Hope ^Haven?s shelter for abused, abandoned and neglected children.
Gonzales graduated from the New Orleans Academy of Art. But it wasn?t until he retired in 1992 and moved here full-time from Metairie, La., that he was able to devote his full attention to art.
In the interim, he helped rear five children and worked at several management jobs, includingTfive years 'as a Falstaff representative in Biloxi.	?	'"
He died July 13, eight days after his 68th birthday.. He and Yvette had been married for 47 years and were comfortably familiar with Bay St.-Louis.
?We?d always come to the Bay?since we were kids,? she said.
Maybe that?s why the throw seems so comfortably representative of the city.
