Keepin' Up

It's the middle of 2014, and I haven't been idle.

The fairly new "Gallery 25 and Creative Arts Studio" in New Milford has been a joy and a task. This co-op gallery attracted a membership of local professional artists, and we all share the workload. About to happen,  the first "Open Show." Prospectus available to those who can hand deliver at : Gallery25OpenShow@aol.com

Spent a lovely long weekend in Maine and painted with friend and fellow artist, Suzanne Brewer. Thanks goes out to a local policeman, who reminded us "safety first" when painting out, especially along road sides, where traffic isn't expecting artists.

Also, just back from a lovely two week vacation, golf and art experience in Ireland. My husband and I drove the southwest area of Ireland, hiked, painted, photographed and golfed. We can't say enough wonderful things about Ireland, including the driving experience. More about that when I have time to review the photos and scan some art images.

Today, I about to paint en plein air for a fundraising event for the Pomperaug River Watershed Coalition. http://www.connecticutmag.com/Blog/Arts-Entertainment/May-2014/Faith-Middleton-of-Food-Schmooze-Chairs-Delicious-Woodbury-Gala-for-a-River/

Looking forward to sharing time with my art colleagues, and meeting Faith Middleton and others, who share a passion for clean water and our beautiful out-of-doors. Special thanks goes to Mill House Anitques & Gardens, who provide the venue for this fundraising event
