Postcards to Maud…
August 14 – September 7, 2017
Postcards are the chosen medium in the Chandler Gallery’s latest exhibition, which asks artists to put forth some of their most daring work within the confines of 6×8 inches. With a range of perspectives and different styles of art, these postcards are nothing like what you see in a souvenir shop. I currently have a piece in this exhibit. All original “postcards” are $50 in support of the Gallery and its community programs.
Pints and Postcards: Thursday, August 24, 6:00 – 8:00 pm / Rain Date: Thursday, August 31, 6:00 – 8:00 pm

Postcards from Vermont: and so begins my painting trip
Well, the light has changed but it’s Vermont. A Bald Eagle scaring the ducks behind me, a bass grabbing a smaller silver fish to my left and me racing the sun at my easel. For the next two weeks, I’ll paint in southern Vermont. Oh, so much GREEN!!
