Dear Friends,

Walking outside this morning, I could sense a slight seasonal shift. It seems a little early, because August just arrived. You know how the air just feels different, and then you notice that the sunlight is not quite as intense and the leaves have developed a deeper hue? Along with these changes comes a favorite time of year, my fall show season.  My studio has been a busy place as I have created new artwork for release at most of my upcoming shows. The subject matter has been diverse. Take a look.

My daughter Patty is holding a work in progress scheduled for release on September 30th with King James Galleries Gettysburg.  

Two additional paintings awaiting printing will be released in Ohio this Fall. The upper one you will see at my show at Gallery Art Center on December 8th, the lower one at Berlin Creek Gallery on October 6th.

Last weekend there was no shortage of summer heat, and crowds filled the streets of Blacksburg for the annual Steppin’ Out festival. It was such a joy to see so many of you again. We had a full house at the gallery as well.

Meet Machen. We are so fortunate to have her working with us at our Blacksburg Gallery.

Good friends and members of the Moss Foundation Board and Society lent a hand during the show. I am so grateful for their help. From L to R: Johnny Gibson, John Stiefel, Larry Bowman, SallyAnn Gowen, and Michael Gowen. Johnny, Larry and SallyAnn serve on the board of directors for the Moss Foundation.

Until next week,

Love,
