Welcome to our
Studio Open House
December 5, 2009



The to-do list is complete.



The halls are decked.



The music is playing and...



...the guests begin arriving.



Old friends greet each other and...



...spend time catching up.



Our crowds are always lively
and with 105 paintings on display...




there is plenty to browse both upstairs and down...

...and lots of art to ponder.



Refreshments are enjoyed.



Cheers!


Gift certificates are now available,
in any amount, toward the purchase of...



...1) an original pastel painting,
2) a mini pastel workshop (below),
or 3) a full-length workshop.

Two New Offerings

Mini Pastel Workshops

Summer Art Auction (2009)
Mini pastel workshops
are two-hour sessions give interested
individuals the opportunity to try pastels
before investing in a full length workshop.

The annual summer art auction
is held outdoors every August.
Guests have a chance to bid on paintings
with opening bids at fifty dollars.


At 2:00 we hold the drawing for
this year's painting giveaway.


Sadie closes her eyes, reaches in deep...


...and the winner is...


... Jane Folsom!
Jane is a fellow artist from Hampden
who recently began working with pastels.
You may see my painting in which Jane is the subject here.


Guests leave with paintings for themselves and...


...with gifts for others on their lists, plus...


...a sweet kiss for the road.


From all of us to all of you,
thank you for sharing this memorable day.
