Dear Friends:

It was so beautiful driving up to Leesburg, Virginia, and Hanover, Pennsylvania, last weekend. The yellows and reds of fall made for a lovely drive.

Both Martin's Gallery in Hanover and Medlin Art, Ltd., in Leesburg have become like family through the years and dear friends. It was such a pleasure to be with both of them. My daughter Patty and I had a wonderful time-such camaraderie, such good friends, such good food, and such good framing; not necessarily in that order! It's always a pleasure to see my work represented so beautifully.

It was fun to have breakfast with members of the Lake Marburg Chapter of the P. Buckley Moss Society in Hanover, PA. We met before the show started Friday morning. Congratulations to the Chapter for a very successful bingo that netted $2,500 for the Martin's Gallery Scholarship Fund. Since the chapter was formed 21 years ago, the members have raised an extraordinary $105,703.30 for various charities on both the local and national levels!

Good times at Medlin Art, Ltd., in Leesburg, VA. L. to R.: Cindy Cheng, gallery owner Shirley Medlin, me, Shirley's sister Sandy Johnson, gallery owner Pat Medlin, and Olga Coffey.

I'm often asked how I keep up. Well, I'll tell you. After leaving Thursday and coming back Saturday night-driving and showing-I slept Sunday and Monday. I get up for an hour or two and work, then go back to sleep. That's my secret.

This Wednesday I'm leaving for Waynesville, Ohio, and my show with Canada Goose Gallery this Friday and Saturday. I'll also participate in several fundraisers while in Waynesville. Wednesday night I'll attend a fundraising dinner to benefit both the P. Buckley Moss Foundation for Children's Education and the Greene County Chapter (known as Greenebucs) of National AMBUCS™, Inc. AMBUCS is a national non-profit service organization dedicated to creating mobility and independence for children and adults with disabilities. Thursday evening I'll participate in a candlelight vigil to honor those affected by breast cancer and support those currently fighting the disease. After Friday's show at the gallery, I'll attend a benefit dinner with live country music and live and silent auctions to benefit Pals for Life Breast Cancer Support Group. That event will be held at Keepin' It Country Farm. Before the show starts Saturday morning, I'll participate in a walk as part of Waynesville's "Hands Across the County, Denim and Pink Weekend" fight against breast cancer. I may need an extra day of sleep after this trip, but it will be worth it!

I've created a special new giclée on paper for the occasion titled Our Farm on Old Town Run. The property featured in the print is located on the outskirts of Xenia, Ohio. Built in 1884-1886, the house and the land were a wedding gift to one of three Bryce family sons. The land was part of the family's farm and consisted of several hundred acres. The property has also long been associated with the Shawnee Indian Nation, and there is an Ohio historical marker located on the front of the property declaring it to be the birth site of Shawnee Chief Tecumseh in 1768. In addition to the new giclée, a new Ohio poster will make its debut at Canada Goose's show.

Our Farm on Old Town Run, above, and a new Ohio poster, below, will be released during my show with Canada Goose Gallery this weekend. For more information, please contact the gallery at 513-897-4348.

Love,
Pat

We didn't get this picture in time for last week's newsletter, so I'm sharing it now. This is the P. Buckley Moss Museum's booth/tent for the Waynesboro Fall Foliage Festival that was held October 8-10. My daughter Patty is the one in the short-sleeved dark shirt, and Pat Carter is the one in the yellow shirt and khaki apron. Pat Carter is the office manager for the P. Buckley Moss Foundation for Children's Education. Marion Roark, the Foundation's treasurer, is on the right in the black sweater. Patty and Pat represented my work at the festival.
