As one ends one will come up

I will be taking down my show this coming Friday the 31st from the Huntington Library. It was a great opportunity and I appreciated all the positive input received.  I am looking forward to my next show which will be at the Bethpage Library, on Long Island for the month of October. I am not sure what paintings will be in  it, might be a combination of some silk paintings with some of my oil paintings. Also a few paintings will be on display in Syosset next month at the Dept of Public Works.

I was happy to see one of my paintings was published in the NY TIMES for the Huntington show in the Metropolitan section a week or so ago  Sunday paper.
It is not online so here is a photo of it.

The same photo was also in the "Huntington Times"  a local paper.

And some lovely ladies at lovely on your side gave me a bit of publicity : ) in their blog post
