Dear Friends:

I'm back in St. Petersburg, Florida, for a few weeks to get a good start on the paintings for my fall shows. My studio is in order, I have my books on tape, and I'm working!

I have to share with you the adorable picture below. It was taken at the P. Buckley Moss Museum in Waynesboro, Virginia, last week. The children in the picture were participating in the P. Buckley Moss Foundation for Children's Education's Annual Summer Art Enrichment Program. The theme this year is "Museums: Past, Present, and Future" and is being conducted in three sessions. The children are exploring and learning about what a Museum is and, if they could design their own museum, just what they would like to see put in it. The second session will end this Friday, June 25, and the Foundation will hold an art exhibit at the Museum on Friday evening. Parents, grandparents, and siblings are all invited to come and see what the children have accomplished during the week. The third session will be held in August.

These young participants in the Foundation's Summer Art Enrichment Program are wearing "I Walked with Moss" t-shirts as paint smocks. By the end of the week, even the t-shirts were a "work of art".

Just for fun, I'll also share a picture that was taken the first week of June with my Mathews, Virginia, friend Janice Hudgins. Janice had invited me to a Mother-Daughter Dinner at her church, Bethel United Methodist in Onemo, Virginia. Onemo is a little community in Mathews County, and it's pronounced "oh-NEE-mo". The dinner was a potluck, and the food was so good! Some of the people dressed up like members of the congregation from the past, and there was even a man in a replica Confederate soldier uniform. That was going way back-Bethel is a very old church!

Love,
