Arthur Hufnagle Library Artisan Holiday Show Glen Rock

In mid-November, I joined a number of other talented artists & craftsmen displaying work at the Arthur Hufnagle Library Artisan Holiday Show, Glen Rock. The show includes paintings, prints, pottery & jewelry and continues through December 29, 2011. Stop in and see some great gift ideas.

Display at Brown's Orchard

September & October was a medium-sized display of paintings & giclee prints in Brown's Brown Bag Lunch Room. Sue Myers was a great help hanging the exhibit. She handled especially well my group of iris paintings. They had a reception on the last Friday of September. Live music was going in the Brown Bean Cafe. A couple from the DC metro area came in to buy apples & chose 5 of the 6 iris paintings. Quite a thrill!

Painting at York Fair 2011

For 9 of the 10 days during 2011 York Fair in September, I painted a variety of works & answered questions. My first effort was a 4x5 oval purple iris which I put into a gold frame as soon as it dried. A few days later, a couple came by and bought it! Next painting was a sculpture in Hershey Rose Garden. Being a complex piece, it took more than 5 days to finish. Lastly I worked
on the scene from rural Virginia. I managed to do two layers & begin details but fair time was over & I had to complete it in my studio. I saw a bit more of this year's fair: the Big Cat Encounter, Pig Races, Hanneford Circus. It was such a rewarding experience I'm already looking forward to the 2012 fair.
