Hooray! time to go BANG again!

This year the timing is perfect for this terrific small works show, just right for Hanukkah and Christmas or stocking up for a new year of birthdays, anniversaries & celebratory events.

I always get some unique presents and usually something fun for myself too. Prices range from $1 - $400, so you can find a stocking stuffer or a great splurge gift that won't break the bank.

Check the facebook page for a sneak peek at some of the work for sale

There will be hot mulled cider spicing the place up all weekend, and a cookie or two to nibble on as you peruse the work. Stop by and escape the mall madness for half an hour.

Kick off the Summer with some Art in New Hope, PA

Wow! what an amazing place for an art show! This old stone barn looks like a pretty cool place - glad I am not banging in all those hanging nails!

I am looking forward to seeing the show over Memorial Day Weekend and to exploring the town of New Hope, PA and maybe a quick hop across the river to Lambertsville, NJ. There are a lot of arty shops, old stone buildings, quirky architecture, plenty of art galleries and fun places to eat. yumyumyum

Check out the town pics on Google if you don't believe me : New Hope & Lambertville

The show ends on Memorial Day, but is open from this Friday. So what are your plans for the official start of summer?

Thanks to Mike Dziomba for the photos and for sharing the driving load! (I am on pick-up duty - with any luck there will be less to carry!)

Friday, May 16, 2014 – Monday, May 26, 2014
open Thursday - Sunday & Memorial Day Monday 12-6pm

Morning Stir : oil : 9x12"

With this painting, I wanted to capture that time of the day when all you can focus on is the hot cup in front of you, its aroma gently rousing your brain to bring the rest of the world into focus.

Sometimes that time of day is 6am...sometimes it is noon...and at this time of the year especially, it sometimes involves a pounding headache and a bit of a delicate stomach.
