2025 Barn

mini original watercolor  $225
Inside the barn at the Eisenhower Farm in Gettysburg PA.

In the Studio: Today, I packed the Suburban for my first show of 2025. It took some time to gather the racks, upper racks, feet, covers, lights, rugs, sign and table. Meanwhile Linda (and Lori) packed the paintings. Made fresh new labels, filled the shrink bucket, and filled the show box.
Fire & Ice Makers Market in Lititz...this weekend!

I was accepted into the April show in Williamsburg VA

I was an award winner last year. 2024 but that does not guarantee acceptance!


Also accepted in the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsman craft show at the Foundry in June.  This is their 2nd year, I was away last year.  But its always great quality.
I never take it for granted that I am accepted into any show. You fill out long applications, include photos of your work and your booth, include a jury payment and wait...

the weekend...

We spent some time with friends over the weekend.  Friday was lunch with Hildebrands at Stone House Cafe in Brickerville PA.  Saturday was lunch with Woodruffs at Ciro's in Lancaster.  Finished binge watching the Night Agent on Netflix.  Sunday we spent time with our new renter in the 2nd floor apartment. Then to top off the weekend we had a large plumbing issue in the cottage requiring an emergency plumber and more work today and tomorrow.  Meanwhile I squeezed in work on a larger painting.

The drawing...



Beginning washes

Working on the enamel...
