The 17th Annual Art in the Round Barn Exhibition!

The 17th Annual Art in the Round Barn Juried Exhibition ended today after three great weeks. The historic round barn is a beautiful place to visit, especially at this time of year with the leaves changing and all the wonderful art to view. So if you weren't able to make it to the show this year hopefully you can next year. The jurors of the show were, Stephanie Walker Kramer-Chase Gallery, Boston, Mass, Tari Swenson- owner of West Branch Gallery, Stowe, VT and Zola Solamente-Director of Arden Gallery, Boston Mass. The reception was great. It's always nice meeting people who like my work and it's great seeing artists who I admire. Sometimes I still cant believe that I've been in shows with artists such as Marilyn Ruseckas and Bill Brauer. Two exceptional artist that I admired long before I ever entered a show. Every year the reception is catered by Cooking from the Heart so the food is always amazing and overall it was a very nice evening. I had five new pieces in the show. "Community Gathering", "Look at the Sky!", "Dream State", "Celebrate!" and "Talking Amongst Each Other". My work was hung at the entrance of the show which was a very nice surprise. "Community Gathering" and "Look at the Sky!" are the biggest paintings I have done to date and two of the paintings "Look at the sky" and "Dream State" have a new element to them, horizontally laid tissue paper! I have to say that I really like how they all turned out. Yes, I am the worst critic of my work but I really can't complain about any of these:)
