Welcome July!

July always turns out to be the busiest month for me.  There are so many festivals, art events, teaching workshops, and of course trying to get out to paint as much as possible.

I have lots to be grateful for as well, I am exhibiting at the Art House Gallery at Craftsbury Common, Vermont, for July and August, with a Reception and Artist Talk on Friday July 11, at 6:00.   

My other big news is that I will now be represented by the Woodstock Gallery, in Woodstock, Vermont. I am so happy to show in this very fine gallery along side some of my favorite painters.  If you are in Woodstock, I hope you will drop in to see my work.

Lastly, I have just learned that I have been juried in to show at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire in October. 

It is so rewarding to receive this validation for my work.  I think we artists work so much in solitude, sometimes we can become uncertain about our abilities.  I'm very much enjoying being in this place right now.  

 

 

Happy May Day!

This painting is one that was completed this winter, a view from Route 2, North Hero Island. It is an impression of the lake, frozen and bleak, with the winter sky in late afternoon.
It is one of the paintings that I will be showing in an installation called "Across the Seasons" at the Continuing and Distance Learning offices at the University of Vermont in Burlington for the Month of May.  I will be teaching a painting work shop for them at the end of May. There will be a reception and artist talk for this show on May 22 from 5:00 - 6:30, the location is the Kelley Building, 322 South Prospect Street in Burlington. If you are in town that day, drop by!
I painted more winter paintings than usual this winter, the colors of the ice and snow, plus some dramatic skies really attracted me.  Now the lake is open again and the landscape is changing fast. I expect the trees will be fully leafed out by next week, and the cycle of green starts again.
