Thomas Center Gallery - Gainesville exhibit

Suwanee River Moss is on exhibit as part of the 10th Annual Regional Juried Exhibition at The Thomas Center Main Gallery in Gainesville, Florida until September 12.

That's Suwanee River as in "Way down upon the." Floridians are especially sentimental about the Suwanee; and frequently request that I paint a favorite view.

I very nearly missed letting you know. That's what happens when I go on vacation (see previous post) and miss the reception.

There's still time to catch the show. I'm thrilled to be hanging with such a wonderful collection.

This one's an Out of Studio post

I'm back from 10 days in Maine where I got to catch up with long lost cousins over THE ABSOLUTE BEST LOBSTER ROLLS at the River House on the New Hampshire/Maine border. We tried lots. In fact Rick and I aimed for lobster at least twice a day.

And share in a very special wedding of the son of old friends. The beautiful Kittery waterside setting was at his aunt's home. All wedding events revolved around the tides. It doesn't get any better...

And I got to visit with my oldest son who is learning to fly and took us for an exciting aerial tour of Moosehead lake.

Some bloggers let you know when they are traveling and cannot post. Not me. Too superstitious about the "bad guys." Instead I tell you when I'm back. Hope that's ok.

Above are just a few of the totally off topic highlights. I'm back in the studio illustrating a book while being surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of remodeling. More on both later.

Dear Gallery East

Dear Gallery East,

Thank you for an absolutely first class reception...flowers, food, attendance, sales, seeing old friends, making new friends...it doesn't get any better.

Best, nancy

Above is a candid...duh. Below is County Commissioner Barbara Fitos posing by my painting of a scene from her garden.

Meet 2 artists from Gallery East, Belleview, FL

While hanging my art for Friday night's reception as guest artist at Gallery East, I got to see some beautiful art. Artist Cydney Robbins (above) was arranging her colorful acrylic paintings; her personality is as vibrant as her beautiful art.
Carol Catania, porcelain artist was artfully arranging her classically lovely 2 and 3 dimensional work.

These artists exemplify the skill and diversity available at Gallery East in very southern end of Belleview, Florida.

If you can, please join us Friday at 5pm for a reception.
