Lititz Outdoor Art Show July 31, 2010

I registered for the Lititz Outdoor Art Show, which is always held the last Saturday in July. This year it’s on July 31st, 9-5, rain or shine, in Lititz Springs Park. I first participated in 1982 and missed only a few shows since Display of paintings by Paulette at 2009 Lititz Outdoor Art Show then. If you finish looking at the great artwork displayed by 150 artists before 5pm, you can visit Wilbur Chocolate Factory Store, right across the tracks, or you can go to Sturgis on Main St to make/buy a soft pretzel. Cool off by enjoying lunch at General Sutter Inn on the square, or try any of a number of sandwich & ice cream shops. http://www.lititzart.com/

Peeps at the Museum

For several years I have noticed the Peep Diorama contests in our local newspaper & decided to make one. I titled my creation, “Peeps at the Museum” and it won an honorable mention. Using acrylics, I painted the floor, walls, "sculpture" & pedestals. "Paintings" were wallet- sized prints of my paintings, except for the token abstract, which I painted in 5 minutes using leftover acrylics from the project &/or Easter egg decorating. I hung it near the floor to show my level of regard for that genre. The couch was from a dollhouse. Bunnies were propped up with stands made from paper clips. Using a spotlight, rather than flash photography, gave the scene atmosphere.

Photo in Lancaster Farming Newspaper

I am pleased to have sold 5 small floral paintings at the Mid-Atlantic garden Show. There was a lovely article written by Michelle Kunjappu in the Lancaster Farming paper, in which she mentions that irises are my favorite flowers, I won 1st place in the "Art in the Garden" show, I've been painting for 30 years, and I've been teaching for 15 years. A friend from my church showed me the article the day after it was published. To subscribe to Lancaster Farming: http://lancasterfarming.com/
