Painting for Peace: April 2008

Saturday, April 26, 2008

It's Friday yyyyy!

Well another week just went past, can you believe it? The big hit of the week, I saw a painting demonstration by Jim DeCeasere at the East Hampton Art Association that was very entertaining. See the result here.

I went to see the Fine Art and Flowers Exhibit, but missed most of it, my favorite?

Support Colchester Land Trust

Colchester Land Trust is having a fine art auction to raise money to purchase land for the trust. Land owned by the trust will not be developed, but remain in its natural state. The Salmon River and Comstock bridge are some well known places that are part of the trust. I have submitted my 'plein air' watercolor painting of the Salmon River on the opening day of the fishing season 2007.

My painting "Salmon River Spring" is part of the auction.
