Walk into the Grimaldis Gallery these days and you are virtually surrounded by water. Sukey Bryan's 18 "Water Paintings" reveal an artist whose work has become a great deal more focused in the last year. The results are largely, but not exclusively, positive.Bryan is a landscape painter who won a major National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in 1993. It allowed her to travel to Iceland, Scotland and Norway to gather visu- al material for her work. Her show last year at Galerie Francoise contained paintings of intensity and romantic vision, though the subject matter was not always totally clear and the artist's sense of composition occasionally deserted her.Since that time Bryan's subject matter has narrowed.

Personal chefs aren't just for the rich and famous anymore. They are not just for Jennifer Aniston or Ray Lewis. Or for the Upper West Side hostess who wants her dinner parties to be the talk of New York society. These days, personal chefs work for busy professionals and even busier stay-at-home moms. They are for senior citizens who no longer enjoy cooking. Or for new parents who don't have the energy. "Who needs us?" said Jim Davis, who runs Chef Bryan's Kitchen in Gaithersburg with his son, Bryan.

For all the turbulence in the airline industry, flight attendant Laura Belanger's retirement plan is soaring. Despite pay and benefit cuts as her employer tried to right itself after filing for bankruptcy, she has maximized her company savings plan and diversified into real estate. At 42, her net worth is a comfortable $282,588. In February, her union ratified an agreement that locks in employer direct and matching retirement funds of up to 6 percent of salary in a 401(k)-style plan.
