Can't tell you how much I'm looking
forward to returning to Rittenhouse Square -- my second year
participating in one of the most respected and well attended outdoor art
fairs in the country. Hope to see you there!

I've spent a lot of time painting around the Philadelphia area so many of the pieces in my booth this year will have been painted (fairly) nearby including "Barn at Granogue," "Flowers to Go" ... and some REALLY close by (as in ... IN the Square) like "Garden Lion, Rittenhouse Square," and "Tents in the Square."

It won't all be local ... many other favorite pieces painted on travels around the US and Europe as well as those close to my home in Virginia will be there for the choosing. I hope you like (love) what I picked to show you!
And in New York at the Salmagundi Club through June 3...
At the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club's Member Exhibition at the Salmagundi Art Club (47 Fifth Avenue in NYC), there's still a short chance to see "Seaside Sunset," my oil painting
of the beach at Carmel, California at sunset which has been awarded the
very top prize (the Board of Directors Award -- Best in Show -- by
jurors Naomi Campbell and Rick Rosen). The Awards Reception is on Friday,
June 3, 6-8pm at the Salmagundi Club in NYC. Unfortunately, I won't be
able to make that event since it coincides with the Rittenhouse Square
Art Show on June 3-5. Can't be in two places at one time -- but if I
could, I would! The reception is free and open to the public though ...
so hopefully, maybe you could drop in!
