Winter Show, featured artist

This morning I received an email from my friend Barbara, the president of the Swampscott Arts Association, asking me if I would be interested in having one of my paintings featured on the winter show exhibit announcement for the SAA. I was flattered and happily agreed, then she and I met and together we designed the show card. We kept the design simple and although I had to crop my painting I was pleased with the way the finished card looks.




What is different about this show from past winter shows is that it is being held in a gallery exhibition space in Salem rather than at the college in town where we usually exhibit. Normally we get publicity in the local papers but sending out postcards is a requirement of the gallery and not typical of a SAA show. It's two months away but before you know it, the holidays will be upon us and it was nice to get the card done before craziness sets in.

  1. Yes, Yes, Yes. Your life just seems to be infused with art--how wonderful. Perfect choice for a winter show. (I've actually visited Salem--during my present life.)

  2. Too bad I didn't "know" you when you were in Salem, I am one town over and would have met you if you were game! It's funny you typed how my life is infused with art when I am trying to think of other things to incorporate into my life so that art isn't dominating me too much.
